Xunta Retreat in Meis Announces 1,300-Kilometer Coastal Route and Conservation Buys

An initial €2 million in 2026 will launch the route under the region’s new coastal authority.

Overview

  • President Alfonso Rueda convened a two-day closed session at the Pousada de Armenteira to align priorities ahead of final approval of a 2026 budget topping €14 billion.
  • Environment minister Ángeles Vázquez outlined a 52-stage coastal path, on foot from Ribadeo to A Guarda and by bicycle to Tui, supported by a guide, signage and an information app.
  • The plan includes acquiring high-protection shoreline parcels for restoration as public patrimony to create coastal refuges.
  • Saturday’s meetings were private, with a public briefing by Rueda scheduled for Sunday to present the retreat’s outcomes.
  • This is the second consecutive annual retreat revived from a Fraga-era practice and the first for newly appointed maritime affairs minister Marta Villaverde.
