APV AND DIPUTACIÓN DE PONTEVEDRA EXPLORE POTENTIAL COLLABORATION AIMING TO REVITALIZE THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE PORT

First institutional meeting between the president of the Port Authority of Vigo, Carlos Botana, and the vice president of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra, Luisa Sánchez. A meeting that both leaders described as very cordial and fruitful, during which they agreed to explore possible avenues of collaboration between both institutions with the aim of revitalizing the central area of the port through the promotion of cultural and sporting activities.

In this context, both Botana and Sánchez advocated for the organization of different activities "that bring life" to this space throughout the year, promoting nautical sports through the Nautical Cluster Ría de Vigo, enhancing the Blue Week, and opening a line of collaboration to introduce children to the sea.

"We want the Port of Vigo to be the venue for major international events, both cultural and sporting, taking advantage of the great potential of our Ría," they emphasized, "and ensuring that these activities have a permanent character".
