2 different types of oyster, 3 each and total cost 11eur.
Blanco (2eur)
You can order the oyster, go any of the restaurant here, sit down order drinks from them and they will provide lemon to go with the oyster.
The oyster is much expensive than the one I had in Bordeaux and not as good.
Small and lean, total disappointment.
Not worth to give a try, just some tourist trap.

Old town in Vigo
The whole place is very quiet except this plaza, after walking one round, I slowly walk back to the train station which took around 20mins.

I walk via another main street back, the entire street I probably only see 3-4 human in the 20mins walk. The street are unbelievable quiet and most shop are closed or closed down.
Near train station saw this bakery, walk in bought some pastries to fill my stomach.
Back in Santiago.

Passed by this market, looks quite cool when on the way to the restaurant for dinner.
Mercado La Galiciana
O Seneiro
Booked this restaurant one day in advance, read this is very popular and alway full.
My booking is 8.30pm and I am the first customer. Another group join in 15mins later, till the end of my dinner I can only see 2 table filled. Am I too early?
The service is remarkable, the service staff spoke very well english, patience and slowly explain what they are serving on that day.
Food is excellent, very happy to walk all the way here although it is outside old town.
Copa Biberius (2.70eur) Red wine
Mix Croquetas (3eur)
Carilleras (19.50eur) Pork cheek with Polenta
This is the day special, forget what is the fillings.
The croquettes is one of the best I had, very creamy and tasty inside.
