In the 19th century, the historic street of Areal housed the shipbuilding and salting factories built by Catalonian entrepreneurs like Buenaventura Marcó del Pont, and it would also be the home of this new bourgeoisie, who made their mark on Vigo’s stately architecture. Today, it’s a residential area with green spaces like Areal Park, as well as one of Vigo’s nightlife areas.
