I will have a few free days to explore Vigo and its surrounding area and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good low-key places to eat/drink? I will be alone, so bar seating or comfortable single dining would be important.
Gracias!

Vinotas, you have some good options in Vigo and surroundings.
In Vigo:
Maruja Limon, one of my favourite in Galicia, creative but based on very good product; interesting Galician white wine selection. C/ Victoria, 4 (Vigo).
Casa Esperanza, specialized on fish, depending on the day high quality seafood. If you go these next weeks you might taste a good baby squid stew or Padron peppers -delicious and spicy little green peppers. C/Luis Taboada, 28 (Vigo)
Surroundings:
Vigo is about 30 kms from Pontevedra. In Poio, a peripheral neibourhood of Pontevedra is located Casa Solla (one michelin star), probably the most important and recognized restaurant in Galicia nowadays. Creative food and again very good product. Pepe Solla the owner and chef handles cooking points with extreme accuracy. Av/ Sineiro, 7 San Salvador de Poio (Pontevedra).

Thanks Carlos, but sadly Maruja was closed (it's a Monday night) and it began pouring so I went next door to a really cute (and delicious) wine bar called Baracina. Very nice selection, good food (pigs' ears and pulpo gallego) and warm service. With 2 wines and 2 plates, dinner was a whopping 17.30 Euros.
