Mobility
Getting to Marisquiño is very easy. The city of Vigo is perfectly connected by road, boat, train and plane. The intermodal station Vialia, located right in the city center, connects the city with the main national destinations by train and bus, while Vigo Airport offers direct flights from several Spanish cities. In addition, the airports of Santiago de Compostela (one hour away) and Porto (90 minutes away) expand national and international connections for those traveling from farther away.
During the festival days, Marisquiño promotes a Mobility Plan in collaboration with Concello de Vigo, Vitrasa and the shipping company Mar de Ons to make travel in Vigo easier and encourage the use of public transport between Samil and the city center.
MARISQUIÑO 2026 LOCATIONS
📍 SAMIL BEACH
The heart of the festival is at Samil Beach, one of the great icons of Vigo. A privileged setting facing the Atlantic, with the Cíes Islands shaping the horizon and sunsets considered among the most spectacular on the peninsula. Over four days, this unique setting is transformed into an impressive venue that becomes the world epicenter of action sports, music, and urban culture. Samil Beach is also one of the most emblematic places to enjoy tourism in Vigo and an unforgettable festival experience.
📍 VIGO CITY CENTER
The other major stage of Marisquiño is the center of Vigo. On Saturday August 8, MTB Downtown takes over the city streets with a spectacular route that starts at Fortaleza do Castro, goes down through the iconic Casco Vello, and finishes by the port, with the finish line at Centro de Ocio A Laxe. Two unique stages, just minutes apart, turn the entire city into part of the festival.
HOW TO GET AROUND DURING THE FESTIVAL
CITY BUSES
Vitrasa increases the frequency of regular lines to Samil and launches its special shuttle service, which this year adjusts its routes to the main demand points and increases its capacity to facilitate access to the festival site.
The company also extends the night service during the weekend to make it easier to return to the city center once the programming of each day has ended.

TOURISM
Take advantage of your visit to discover Vigo beyond the festival. The Samil beach, where Marisquiño takes place, is one of the city’s main attractions thanks to its epic sunsets with the Cíes Islands in the background, and the perfect starting point to get to know other must-see places in the area.
The Casco Vello, venue of the MTB Downtown, is one of Vigo’s most historic and distinctive neighborhoods, with cobblestone streets, lively squares, and a wide range of food and leisure options.
