Vilaboa is a town in Galicia, Spain. Its name comes from the Latin words villam bonam, which means "good village." This town is located right on the Atlantic Ocean. It sits by a special part of the coast called San Simon's Cove, which is part of the Ria de Vigo. A "ría" is like a river valley that the ocean has filled up.
