A significant step has been taken towards the formation of the Minho Estuary Eurocity, which integrates the municipalities of Caminha, O Rosal, and A Guarda. The initiative, named Project 0554_EURO_FOZ_MINHO - Euro_Foz: Building the Minho Estuary Eurocity, has received co-funding from the INTERREG VI-A Spain-Portugal (POCTEP) 2021-2027 Program and was presented this morning, October 9th, at the Liga de Amigos do Rosal.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the three municipalities, marking another stage in the consolidation of this future eurocity. The president of the Caminha Municipal Council emphasized the importance of the road link between the two banks of the Minho River. According to the official, this connection is crucial for promoting the social, cultural, and economic development of the shared territory, bringing people closer, creating opportunities, and strengthening cooperation between communities with common identity and future.
This presentation officially launches an ambitious project that aims to leverage the geographical, historical, and cultural proximity of the Minho Estuary. The goal is to establish a robust cooperation structure capable of fostering sustainable growth, mobility, economic revitalization, and affirming the region as a space of opportunities and European integration.
The creation of the Minho Estuary Eurocity seeks to strengthen the historical, cultural, and institutional ties between Caminha, O Rosal, and A Guarda. The aim is to promote joint development, enhance shared resources, and implement strategic projects for the populations of the three municipalities.
