Vigo City-Centre Residents Launch Legal Action Over Christmas Installations

The group moves to enforce noise limits to protect the historic Alameda.

Overview

  • The Asociación de Vecinos Zona Centro de Vigo announced judicial proceedings targeting recurring holiday market and entertainment setups in the city centre.
  • The association has raised about €13,600 toward a €25,000 crowdfunding goal to fund expert evidence, technical studies, legal fees and court costs.
  • Residents cite a prior Tribunal Superior de Xustiza de Galicia ruling against the City Council for violating fundamental rights and allege authorisations continue inside a designated acoustic saturation zone.
  • Expert reports referenced by the group record noise levels of 81 dB at façades and 46 dB inside bedrooms, which they say exceed legal limits.
  • The Alameda de Vigo is the focal concern, with the association seeking Bien de Interés Cultural status and blaming annual deterioration on large commercial installations run by a Madrid-based operator.
