Accommodation

The events take place in Vigo (department “Pontevedra”). Close by is Bayona (25 km, 16 miles from Vigo), a small town with a beautiful sailboat harbour and ancient castle.  A bit further away but still reachable is the city of Pontevedra (40 km, 25 miles) or even the picturesque Santiago de Compostela (90 km, 56 miles) known for its cathedral and pilger destiny of the “Camino de Santiago” (see “Tourist Information”).

The Triathlon HD starts in “Avenida de Samil” near the “Verbum – Casa das Palabras” in Vigo. The distance to the center is about 5 km or 3 miles. A taxi ride from the center to Samil is between 10 and 15 Euros.

Any of these cities has many hotels or rooms listed in Google Maps, Booking.com, as well as in AirBnB as well. The prices are rather reasonable in general. Here are a couple of suggestions.

For those who participate in the Swimming competition, there are two hotels with specific offers.
