Castrelos Park & Pazo Quiñones de León
Parque de Castrelos
Vigo's largest city park, with a 17th-century noble mansion that is now a municipal museum, plus French and English gardens with camellias and a rose garden.
Castrelos Park lies in the south of Vigo. Its heart is the 17th-century Pazo Quiñones de León, which the family donated to the city government in 1924. It is now the Vigo Municipal Museum, displaying Galician painting, archaeological finds and the mansion's original furniture, and admission is free. Around the mansion are a French-style geometric garden, English lawns, a rose garden and a camellia garden. The park's open-air theater hosts free summer concerts in July and August, a summer-night tradition for Vigo residents. The bus from downtown takes about 15 minutes.
