El Castro in Vigo: A Celtic Iron Age Settlement

In Vigo, we call not only a Celtic Iron Age settlement “El Castro”, but also all its surroundings, which include a lot of trees, such as firs, a castle, several paths, steps, gardens, a skating rink, a pond with ducks, modern cottages and a playground with swings.

There was once a small basketball hoop in the park where little boys could play, but it was so tiny and unstable that it was hardly worth using.

This image, in contrast, shows the sun rising in the morning behind the trees of El Castro.

The memory of that small hoop connects with the local basketball side of this blog: Rías Baixas against Open World 24h offers a match report from Vigo. For a broader vision of basketball in the same city, read How to create an NBA basketball team for your town in a 10 years period.
