Ondas do mar de Vigo

Known as "Pergamino Vindel" the manuscript of 7 poems/songs written by Martin Codax will be in Vigo till March 2018

This has nothing to do with English but with our history and culture. Some of the students from school will be lucky to go and see it at El Museo del mar in Vigo. Those who are not going to be taken should mention it at home and go with the whole family. This is your chance. If you miss it you will have to go to New York to the Morgan Library to see it.
