Domaio

OK, this map shows the general area where I am. On the bottom, Vigo, a city of 297,000 (metropolitan population half a million). On the north side of Vigo bay you can see part of the Morrazo peninsula. Directly north of Vigo you can see the town of Moaña. The municipality of Moaña includes various towns, including Domaio (to the east). The highway that goes up from Vigo crosses a big bridge called the Rande bridge.

So when I first got here I stayed in a pensión in Domaio. Now I've moved into Vigo. The school is in Tirán which is a western part of Moaña.

This is a "batea" in Vigo bay. It's a floating platform. Long ropes hang down and mussels grow on the ropes. Then they take a boat with a crane and pull up the ropes and harvest the full-grown mussels. In another part of the bay they have kind of floating cages where they raise fish. The cages have guard dogs on them so that people don't steal the fish.
