The president of Portos de Galicia, Natalia Botana, appeared before the 8th Commission for Fishing and Shellfish of the Parliament of Galicia to report on the processing status of proposals for the reversion to the State of port land declared unnecessary for sectoral activity. Botana confirmed that the requests submitted by the 25 municipalities claiming the change of ownership of these lands have already been processed.
Botana recalled that 22 reversion proposals were agreed upon in the municipalities of A Guarda, A Pobra do Caramiñal, Bueu, Cambados, Cangas de Morrazo, Cariño, Cedeira, Fisterra, Foz, A Illa de Arousa, Laxe, Moaña, Mugardos, Oleiros, O Grove, Poio, Ponteceso, Pontecesures, Rianxo, Ribeira, Vilagarcía, and Vilanova de Arousa. In two cases, Corcubión and Viveiro, it was agreed not to revert the lands, and in the case of Burela, one of the requested lands does not belong to the public maritime-terrestrial domain.
The president presented the administrative work carried out by the Xunta de Galicia, thanking the institutional collaboration of the involved mayors.
The Xunta processed the requests in three phases, transferring the first nine proposals to the State in April 2025, the eight from the second phase in September 2025, and the last ones will be sent in the coming weeks. For now, Portos de Galicia has not yet received a response from the central government.
Additionally, Natalia Botana responded to a parliamentary question about the project to improve the surfaces in the port of Covelo, in Poio. Portos de Galicia will invest 200,000 euros in a global contract for pavement repair, which was put out to tender on October 5th, complementing the action by the Poio City Council, which will invest 250,000 euros.
