Cangas, Zona Franca Launch Study for Ojea Underground Parking and Warehouse Restoration

The study launch shows political will, with coastal approvals and soil tests still required.

Overview

  • The Vigo Free Trade Zone and the Cangas council have opened a process to test the feasibility of an underground car park at the Ojea esplanade.
  • The initiative remains at an early study phase with no budget or construction timeline approved.
  • Progress hinges on a coastal concession from the state landowner and on soil studies because Ojea was built on reclaimed seabed.
  • Local leaders pitch the garage as relief for a chronic parking shortfall in a town of about 27,000 that fills with summer visitors.
  • The plan also targets the rescue of the ruined canning warehouses as heritage and as space for blue‑economy startups, while the local PP dismisses the move as “puro humo.”
