Incipient Organization The beginning of the fifties decade is marked by several administrative disagreements when it comes to understand and face an organization of the port of Arousa. “Any resemblance –says Manuel Villaronga in his history of the Port- between the intention of the authorities and the opinion of the engineers that were dealing with problems in the port day after day, was pure coincidence.” At the request of the General Direction of Ports, the engineer-director García Toriello presents, in 1954, an outline of the General Plan that names “Plan of works, installations, materials and auxiliary means to carry out during a quinquennium in the Port of Vilagarcía,” with a global budget of 101.696.942 millions of pesetas. Two years later, that first General Plan defines and fixes its main contents in the Plan of Organization of the Commercial Quay and annexed Zones, fundamentally established because of the need to receive the vessels “Montes” and “Cabos”, both coastal navigation. The total budget of this Organization Plan of the Commercial Quay was 39.100.000 pesetas and it was approved in 1957. However, most of its proposals were never carried out; but this Organization Plan helped later actions that were developed in the following decades. > Photographic Support
