Wow! What an incredible day!! I awoke at the not desired time of 9 am(despite requesting a wake up call for 8 that came at 10) and realized I would not catch the morning train to Vigo. So instead, I watched some horrible Spanish cartoons in honor of Saturday morning, then was on my way. I immediately loved Vigo. I am so wishing I would have stayed here instead of Ponteverda. I arrived around noon and walked down to find the port. I must say my reaction was something like ¨WOW¨ when I saw the coast here. It is a beautiful town, and I spent the good part of the afternoon walking around the shops and bargaining for some sunglasses with a guy from Senegal and then enjoying something called ¨Toffee Glory¨, mmmm. At 3:30 I borded the boat to Las Islas Cies, and from there I will take the story over with pictures because words simply can´t describe...

Para Vigo Me Voy was a song composed by the incomparable Ernesto Lecuona, a prolific Cuban musician. In English, it got translated into "Say Si Si": 'In Spain they say si, si. In France you'll hear oui,oui...etc.' The Andrews Sisters did that and and few others as well.
Much better in the original Spanish.

Well, I´m glad you got the idea behind the title. I wasn´t sure if others would catch it :) I haven´t heard it in Spanish, but am definitely familiar with the English version.
Now it´s stuck in my head again, thanks :)
I heart your blog. Write more.
