Default Stranded in Spain!

Hola
I have joined up, hoping therefor someone local to Vigo in Spain who cam maybe offer a little help and assistance.

Last Thursday, myself and a colleague were disembarked from our cruise ship at Vigo and since then have been at a but of a loss to know what to do. My colleague developed breathing problems on board and is currently in a Hospital in Vigo, unfortunately being bed bound he us particularly bored!!
As usual, the insurance company has been slow to respond and we aren't sure what to do.

Is there anyone local who could show a smiling face or possibly even loan a few English books so he is less bored in bed?

Any contact or information about Vigo would be appreciated.
Thankyou

Jon

Since you have internet access, I can only suggest googling vigo, searching Vigo on BE (other forums are available ) see what/who turns up & pm them.
Best of luck to your friend.

I live about 2.5 hours drive away so hardly local. This guy is much more local and maybe he has some contacts with expats living in the city.
Hope your colleague gets well soon and you are both on your way back home.
