The decision, published in the Diario Oficial de Galicia (DOG), includes municipalities such as Sanxenxo, Baiona, Cangas, O Grove, A Guarda, Marín, Nigrán, Soutomaior, Vigo, Vilaboa, Vilagarcía de Arousa, Arteixo, Cabanas, A Coruña, Dumbría, Miño, Oleiros, O Porto do Son, and Valdoviño. These municipalities will be responsible for managing services such as the installation of terraces, food and beverage vending establishments (chiringuitos), or the rental of beach equipment.
The 2027 season will be longer as Easter falls in March, meaning services will extend from March 19 to October 31. This initiative is possible following the transfer of functions to the autonomous community, which for the second year is directly processing applications from municipalities interested in operating seasonal services in public maritime-terrestrial domain areas.
Furthermore, the minister announced that this Monday, November 16, at 12:00 PM, the deadline will open for individuals and legal entities to submit their applications for the operation of these seasonal services in the remaining municipalities. Since November 1st and until December 31st, the deadline is also open for individuals or entities to apply for the operation of services in the protection easement zone.
Nicolás Vázquez emphasized that the Galician government is advancing a new coastal management model, focusing on planning, uniform criteria, and legal certainty. In 2026, over 900 seasonal service authorizations were processed.
