In the hills surrounding Vigo city, as we move away from the sea, there are several hill walks and forest trails, so it is quite easy to see a contrast to the city and get a little closer to nature. The longer routes can be divided into shorter stages, the level of difficulty is low and city bus routes stop at various points along the route. There are also several picnic areas in the forest parks along the way, and this makes it easier for any type of walker. But perhaps the greatest attraction of going up into the hills that overlook Vigo are the spectacular views from many points along the way.

Route GR53 goes all along the hills around Vigo, from A Madroa to A Garrida. It is more than 56km long and the As Greas trail is part of a longer route that goes on throughout the province of Pontevedra.

Alternatively, it is not necessary to leave the city itself to go for a walk. There are urban walks too, which are shorter (the longest is 6km) but just as interesting as a nice city stroll.
