The municipal flag of Vigo is ~5:7, divided per saltire white over red with the municipal CoA very small overall.
The background comes from the Vigo Maritime Province registration ensign, as noted by José Carlos Alegría on 10 Nov 1999.
See the source page for the flag image, including also a big image of the CoA, a PDF document with background information on the flag and CoA and vector (Freehand and WMF formats, compressed zip archives) images of the CoA. The website http://hoxe.vigo.org/ is the official site of the Municipality (Concello), so these images are the official ones.

Aprobado no Pleno de 7 de abril de 1987.

The images at Heráldica Municipal de Pontevedra are identical to António's, but the colors are oddly dark; I think it is unintentional. The flag shown is 2:3 instead of António's 5:7.

The CoA shows a castle and an tree on a island, and bears a royal crown. Exact depictions of the CoA vary.

En campo azul claro, un castelo de base cadrada rematado nunha torre almeada, todo en ouro; na parte baixa unha porta con arco de medio punto, dúas fiestras cuadrilongas no corpo medio e dúas troneiras, tamén cuadrilongas, na torreta. Cingendo, en parte, o castelo, pola súa banda esquerda unha oliveira de sinople con tronco en marrón. Todo nun cotarelo en siena, sobre un mar de seis franxas ondeadas de azur mariño. A bordura en gules, separada por unha pequena cinta branca. Ó timbre, coroa real pechada.
Aprobado no Pleno de 7 de abril de 1987.
In a light blue field, a castle with a square base supporting a crenelated tower, all gold; at the bottom a door with half-point arch, two rectangular windows midway up and two medium embrasures, also rectangular, on the turret [total nonsense – the windows are all arched, and those aren't embrasures]. Obscuring part of the castle on its left an olive tree vert with a brown trunk. All on an sienna islet upon a sea of six wavy bands of sea-blue. A bordure gules, separated by a small white band. Surmounted with closed royal crown.
Approved in meeting of 7 April 1987.
