Rasheem spent his first few days in Vigo exploring the city and surrounding areas. On Sunday, Rasheem went on a boat ride called a "dorna", a type of fishing boat used on Galicia's southwest coast. On Monday, Rasheem visited the city center with Breogán, seeing landmarks like the mermaid statue and a library. On Tuesday, Marina took Rasheem on a walk around town, visiting parks, shops, and sights mentioned in Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea like the port and cathedral.
