Portos and A Pobra join forces to restore the rowing club's boat

Published on April 29, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Portos de Galicia and the City Council of A Pobra do Caramiñal have reached an agreement to restore the local rowing club's boathouse, which was severely damaged by a fire. The facility, essential for storing boats and sports equipment, suffered structural damage requiring joint intervention. Both administrations are committed to restoring this key space for the club's activity.

Description: Two hands, one with the Portos de Galicia logo and the other with the City Council logo, joined together holding a model of the restored rowing club boathouse, with a background of extinguished flames and a calm sea.

Restoration plan with technical and structural criteria 🛠️

The intervention will focus on repairing the roof and reinforcing the concrete pillars, which were compromised after the incident. The use of fire-resistant materials for the enclosure will be evaluated, and the electrical installation will be reviewed to prevent future incidents. The project includes waterproofing the floor slab and renovating the access points to facilitate the movement of the trawlers, prioritizing the safety and functionality of the space.

The fire couldn't stop them, but the paperwork almost did 🔥

After the fire, the club feared the boathouse would be left abandoned due to lack of funds and bureaucracy. But it seems the smoke not only woke up the neighbors, but also the administrations, who are now competing to see who signs the agreement first. Of course, while they reach an agreement, the rowers will continue training, hoping the new boathouse doesn't arrive just in time for the next Olympics.
