Ferrol delegate of the Xunta de Galicia, Martina Aneiros, held a working meeting this morning with Bishop Fernando García Cadiñanos of the Mondoñedo-Ferrol diocese to review the draft rehabilitation plan for the Santo André de Teixido sanctuary. The meeting aimed to explore potential collaborative efforts between the Xunta and the diocese regarding the project.
The Santo André de Teixido sanctuary is the second most important pilgrimage site in the autonomous community of Galicia, renowned for its cultural and natural significance. It is situated in the Sierra de la Capelada, perched on cliffs that rise 600 metres, making it one of the highest in continental Europe. According to diocese data, the sanctuary attracts approximately 100,000 visitors annually, highlighting the need to adapt the surrounding area to ensure the preservation of its heritage.
This meeting also included Severino Álvarez, the territorial director of the Consellería de Cultura, Lingua e Xuventude. It forms part of the regular outreach efforts by the Xunta delegate to engage with various local stakeholders and address their concerns.
