Every now and again we welcome visitors to our city to the Lord Mayor's Parlour where I am able to give them a tour of the Guildhall and have them sign the visitors book.
Today we welcomed a group of students from Vigo in Spain, who have spent the last three weeks working with Pentrehafod School, of which coincidentally I am also a governor.
Vigo is a city on Spain’s northwest coast. The mouth of the nearby Vigo Estuary is sheltered by the Cíes Islands, which form part of the Atlantic Islands National Park. The Cíes are known for their rich birdlife and crescent-shaped Rodas Beach. The city’s old quarter is home to the neoclassical Church of Santa María. The Castro de Vigo archaeological site has reconstructed ancient dwellings.
The students English was far better than my Spanish, so we managed to communicate and afterwards they went to Joe's Ice Cream Parlour before starting the long journey home via Gatwick airport.
