Developmental initiatives are underway in Vigo to improve coastal environments and urban infrastructure. The Xunta de Galicia granted the Vigo City Council a 30-year concession for the environmental recovery of O Vao beach. This project involves an investment of over 5 million euros to revitalize the area by replacing obsolete infrastructure, reordering beach access, and removing parking spaces from the public domain.

Concurrently, the Port Authority of Vigo (APV) has proposed urban improvements for the Teis neighborhood. These plans include the ‘humanization’ of Camiño Cacharela to create a pedestrian walkway connecting Arealonga and Mende beaches. The project also aims to incorporate landscape recovery and efficient lighting. To address local community concerns, the Port Authority has conducted studies regarding noise propagation, identifying industrial activity as a primary source of noise in the area.
