The bay and harbour breakwaters at Vigo, Spain.

The bay and harbour breakwaters at Vigo, Spain. The photographer is on a shore excursion and is on the grass slope of Castro Hill, looking over rooftops to the bay. On the right is a building with a lookout tower connected to it by a high level covered walkway. The lookout platform itself is mounted atop four circular concrete supports. To the right of centre is a small church with two bells in a structure above the roof on the front facade. Just offshore are concrete breakwaters, one pointing west and the other pointing east.
