Fabulous food and wonderful wine await you in Vigo, Galicia, Spain.

There's more to this year's premier Spanish event than the 30,000 Euro prize fund!

Once again, this popular event is in Galicia, the area in North Western Spain, but this time nearer the Portuguese border in the large Port City of Vigo.

Vigo is all about the sea, with the fishing port and sailing marina dominating the entire city experience, and all the benefits that brings, and sampling the fresh seafood should be high on every visitor's "to do" list!

That, and playing in the Vigo International 9 Ball Tournament, of course!

Apparently this year the venue for this competition is even better than the one last year in Lugo (won by Daryl Peach in 2009). Then add to that one of the best organised pool tournaments in the world and you've got a winning combination that even the most battle hardened pool player will absolutely love!

AND DON'T FORGET THE TEN BALL PAIRS EVENT TOO!
