If there is one unmissable monument in Vigo, it is the monument to Jules Verne. The brilliant writer dedicated a chapter to the Bay of Vigo in one of his most famous books, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and fuelled the legend of the Rande treasure through the popular character of Captain Nemo and his famous Nautilus. Jules Verne even visited the city some time after writing the novel. To thank him, on the centenary of his death (2005), the Pontevedra Business Women's Association commissioned this bronze sculpture from the Vigo artist José Molares and donated it to the city. Since then, the writer has sat on the tentacles of a giant squid in the Avenidas, next to the Montero Ríos Gardens.

There is even the Verniana Society of Vigo in the city. It is a special group that includes journalists, artists or writers to honor the memory of our favorite writer.
