The municipality of Tui has been awarded 3 flowers of honor in the Villas en Flor contest, whose gala took place yesterday in Salceda de Caselas. The mayor, Enrique Cabaleiro, collected the distinction, which recognizes the municipal work and raises Tui's qualification from 2 to 3 flowers.
The jury highlighted recent interventions in Praza da Fromista, Praza da Armada, and the area around the San Antonio market, praising their "landscape and architectural actions appropriate to the environment, pedestrianizing the surroundings of the plaza works". Improvements in Ourense and Augusto González Besada streets, and the project on the Corredoira promenade, were also noted as "signs of the good direction of the municipality's management". The restoration of the hórreo at Patazumba estate, a declared BIC (Asset of Cultural Interest), was also valued.
The enhancement of city access, with its "significant" landscape and visual impact, and the recovery of river paths such as the Furnia, Caselas, the Miño, and the one being executed from the International Bridge to the border with Tomiño, were other points appreciated by the jury.
Furthermore, the jury noted the presence of notable tree specimens like cedars and "process pruning with good practice". Actions to replace traditional lamps with LED luminaires, waste composting, and planting low-water-consumption species were also assessed. They concluded by highlighting "the future project, and above all the energy and enthusiasm" conveyed by the City Council's representatives.
The Vilas en Flor Galicia program aims to recognize the commitment of municipalities to improving their green spaces and the quality of life for residents through environmental and sustainable management initiatives.
