🏞️Bouzafria is very close to where I live, just about 4 kilometres from Vigo’s downtown, in Bembrive. The river Eifonso forms the cascade with a fall of almost 4 meters.

🏙️Vigo is located on the Northwest of Spain, in Galicia, it is one of largest and most important fishing ports🎣 in all Europe🇪🇺 and is known for its freezing and canning industry🏭.

🏘️The name Vigo comes from the Latin word Vicus Spacorum (Small Village). The city is built over a hill-fort (Castro) and a Roman settlement. During the Middle Ages the small village🏘️ of Vigo was a part of the neighbouring towns, mainly Tui. Finally on the 15th century, Vigo was considered a real village but in the 16th and 17th centuries, the city was attacked⚔️ several times. Around 1578 the town had a population of 868, but the plague🐀 and the pirates🏴‍☠️ destroyed the town and killed almost all the people. In 1585 and 1589 the town was attacked by the English admiral (a pirate or corsair) Sir Francis Drake🏴‍☠️, he temporary occupied it and he left many buildings burnt🔥. In 1702 a British-Dutch fleet under Sir George Rooke and James Butler, Duke of Ormonde, destroyed a Franco-Spanish fleet in the bay during the Battle of Rande🧭.

🕛In the 19th century, the French🇫🇷 troops conquered⚔️ Vigo, but the popular resistance ended with the reconquest of the city and the French Army was expelled🛡️ from Vigo on 28 March 1809. It was the first city of Galicia to be freed from the French🇫🇷 rule.

❓Did you know that the first stapler was produced for the French king Louis XV in the 18th century but it was actually made in the Basque Country? The royal stapler was hand-made and came with a set of staples bearing the royal emblem on them.
