Councils camps

The Council's 2024 summer camps can now be requested and can request up to three camps in order of preference that will be awarded by lottery. A new feature this year is that camps can be added at different times even after the delivery of the first registration.

These camps will facilitate the reconciliation of family, personal and work life for the citizens of Vigo, offering 4,000 places.

Boys and girls born among children born between 2007 and 2020 will be able to register. The system for allocating places is by lottery among all applicants and can register from April 25 to Sunday, May 12.

They will begin on June 24 until August 30, in five shifts of two weeks each. There is a morning classroom and lunch box service with discounts for large families and single parents.

One of the greatest airplane tragedies and at the same time the greatest capacity for survival and motivation occurred with the protagonists of flight 571 of the Uruguayan Air Force that crashed in the Andes on October 13, 1972, whose story is reflected in the films "They Live" and "The Snow Club".

But there is another similar accident but not as well known, such as the Vigo-Madrid flight of the Aviaco company that left the Peinador airport on December 4, 1958 and crashed in the Guadarrama mountain range. For two days they searched tirelessly for the plane until the Segovian pastor Luciano Otero located the device (Awarded with a diploma, a thousand pesetas and a month's leave from military service).

All the plane's crew members died instantly (16 passengers and 5 crew members) and the causes of this appear to be due to a mechanical failure combined with poor visibility due to fog, which caused the crash against the "Dead Woman" massif. Named like this because of its peculiar orography.

Stories of lives that were cut short, like those of two girls aged 9 and 10 who were traveling to meet their parents who had saved for the flight to avoid the dangers of the road. That of the stewardess who died at only 18 years old, of a former Celta player......

The Reconquista is a festival of National Tourist Interest since 2019 that commemorates the reconquest of the city by the citizens from the French in 1809. Officially the Reconquista is commemorated on March 28 but this year it will coincide with Holy Thursday for which will be held on two consecutive weekends.

For this reason, the town of Vigo received the title of "faithful, loyal, brave." Granted on March 1, 1810 by the Regency Council of Spain and the Indies.

Cierre de Peinador en 2024

The Vigo airport Peinador has to close for three weeks to fix damage to the landing strip due to leaks or sinkholes, a circumstance that became evident in 2023.

For this reason, from May 6 to 30, it will divert the flights that normally operate to the Santiago de Compostela A Coruña or Oporto runway for Air Europa, Ryanair, Vueling, Binter and Iberia.

What is already clear on the websites of these companies:

The Peinador track measures 200 meters long and 24 meters wide, a track that was inaugurated in 1956. Built in part by its own citizens...

 

A multitude of pets are waiting for you in a new campaign "Travesía Pet Dates" that is celebrated in the Travesía de Vigo shopping center, thus commemorating Valentine's Day.

This will be the third pro-adoption campaign in which by exposing photographs of 14 (two dogs  are inseparable)and 3 cats they hope to help find a family that will take them in and adopt them with love.

8 protective associations and shelters from Pontevedra collaborate in this initiative: Protectora de Animales de Vigo, Rescue Galicia, Protectora Os Biosbardos, Aloia Protectora, Cadeliños Animal Rescue Association, Tú Eres Nuestra Ayuda, Proyecto Gato and Canceira de Poio.

Chuliños Peluquería Canina has also collaborated too.
