During the Middle Ages and the modern era, Vigo experienced gradual growth linked to its port and fishing.In the 19th century, the city began to industrialize, driven by shipbuilding and large-scale fishing.The incorporation of neighborhoods such as Bouzas and Lavadores in the 20th century expanded its territory and population.Vigo consolidated itself as a key industrial and commercial center in Galicia, with significant urban development and the modernization of its port and urban infrastructure.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, Vigo has experienced notable demographic and economic growth, becoming the most populated city in Galicia.The automotive industry, with the PSA Peugeot Citroën plant, and industrial fishing have been economic pillars.In recent decades, the city has improved its urban, cultural and tourist infrastructure, consolidating itself as a benchmark in the northwest of Spain.Recent events include the expansion of the port and the promotion of sustainable tourism, as well as an increase in immigration that has diversified its population and culture.
