Celta Vigo, the Galician club, celebrates 150 years of football in Vigo with a page for history in the Faro de Vigo. The first mention of football in Spain occurred in 1876 in Vigo, when the workers of the English Cable played ball according to their use and manner. This page for history is a unique testimony of the life of the 19th century in Vigo, in a city that was growing rapidly and where work was beginning to leave time for leisure. The main grain market was in La Alhóndiga de Vigo, with the prices of maize at 17 reales, wheat at 10 or barley at 19 reales. In Madrid, the bases of the North-West Railway were approved, for which a loan of 474 million was requested in Paris. The telegrams completed with the news that in Serbia and Montenegro, military preparations were increasing. That four-page folio kept a page for history in the third. The social review of the chronicle fixed its interest in the workers of the English Cable who had begun to arrive in the city three years before. Those amateur footballers had similarities with some later ones.
