In recent years, Ferrol has undertaken several urban renewal and infrastructure projects aimed at modernizing the city and enhancing its appeal to both residents and visitors. One of the key areas of development has been the restoration of historic buildings, including parts of the Arsenal and the Barrio de la Magdalena. These efforts are aimed at preserving the city’s architectural heritage while making it more accessible to tourists and event organizers.
There are also plans to expand Ferrol’s tourism infrastructure, with new hotels and eco-friendly accommodations being developed in and around the city. The promotion of eco-tourism, particularly in relation to the nearby Fragas do Eume Natural Park, is part of a broader effort to position Ferrol as a gateway to Galicia’s natural beauty.
The local government has also been investing in the city’s cultural scene, supporting initiatives that showcase Ferrol’s maritime history, Galician traditions, and contemporary arts. These efforts, along with improved transport connections and a focus on sustainability, are helping to position Ferrol as a vibrant and modern city that remains deeply connected to its historical roots.
