Cómo moverse
The connections between the different spaces where the XXV edition of Marisquiño will be held is one of the challenges faced by the organization of OM25, which has reached agreements with the Concello de Vigo to increase the frequencies of urban transport (Vitrasa) between the city center and Samil.
The decentralization of the festival across various locations in the city helps to alleviate congestion on Paseo de las Avenidas and provides greater comfort for the public by having more space. Samil Beach thus becomes the main venue for the event with the World Skate, BMX and Basket 3x3 competitions. The city center will host other disciplines such as Downtown (Castro, Casco Vello, and A Laxe). The challenge of connecting these areas to facilitate access for festival followers is combined with the need to promote public transport in the city and encourage mobility systems without fossil fuels like bicycles, scooters, skateboards, and electric motorcycles. To this end, Marisquiño is collaborating with public and private companies to implement a sustainable mobility plan.
VITRASA
On the occasion of the new edition of O Marisquiño, Vitrasa will launch a special service that will be reinforced in the different areas where the competition is taking place to facilitate the transportation of attendees. In this regard, in the Samil area, the usual lines that reach the beach will be reinforced as needed: C3, 4C, 10, 15A, 15B, 15C, and 23.
In addition, a special night service has been designed to reinforce the N1 line that connects Samil with the city center to offer an average frequency of 25 minutes.
This line, which makes a circular route, passes through the following streets: Samil (first stop Avda. Europa) - Avda. Europa - Avda. Castelao - Pza. América (tunnel) - Camelias - Venezuela - Gran Vía - Urzaiz - Príncipe - Urzaiz - Travesía de Vigo - Buenos Aires - Sanjurjo Badia - García Barbón - Policarpo Sanz - Velázquez Moreno - García Olloqui - Cánovas del Castillo - Beiramar - Gaiteiro Ricardo Portela - Torrecedeira - Praza Eugenio Fadrique - Tomás Alonso - Camilo Veiga - Avda. Atlántida - Samil (first stop Avda. Europa).
BIKE LANES and ALTERNATIVE MOBILITY
The use of scooters, bicycles, and skateboards is increasingly common in the city of Vigo, and during the Festival, their use will be promoted for moving from one space to another through a growing network of bike lanes in the city.
The City Council will allow bicycles to circulate on Avenida de Europa (at 20 km/h, like cars), linking the city with Samil Beach, and this will be added to the numerous existing lanes on the streets of Venezuela, Camelias, Beiramar, and the Port of Vigo. This provisional lane will provide light vehicles such as bicycles, scooters, and skateboards with a fast lane that will facilitate quick and safe access from the city to the beach.
Vigo thus establishes itself as a sustainable and green city that promotes the use of alternative transportation, complementing the Vigo Vertical project with the axes of Castro, Gran Vía, and Casco Vello, as well as with the tracks and escalators that connect the different heights of the city.
Bike lane: a 10 km long stretch that runs across the entire city from end to end. From Buenos Aires (Teis) to Coia, passing through Travesía de Vigo Pizarro, Venezuela, Camelias, and Avenida Castelao.
LUGGAGE
If you are attending O Marisquiño and want to keep your luggage safe, a new intelligent locker service is being inaugurated in Vigo, at the Ría de Vigo Maritime Station, a service aimed at tourists and the general public that was missing in the city.
There you can securely store your belongings, under video surveillance and with an alarm 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without interruption.
