Summary

The objective of this work is the description of the urban fabric starting from a "mosaic of mosaics", trying to differentiate areas of Vigo by their immigrant population, but we have not found any areas differentiated by this aspect. Why would this be? We could explain it in that Vigo has not had such a considerable growth as the people from this town believe, and in that the concentration of foreign immigration is not captured as such, but in that the population identifies them with other different images. We have therefore chosen three typologies to characterise certain areas of Vigo that we consider significant. Then, based on marginality and mobilisation, public equipment and consumption, we have differentiated six areas that the people of Vigo identify with that ideal, in order to characterise them and locate them within the urban mosaic.
