The Consellería do Medio Rural of the Xunta de Galicia and the Concello de Lugo jointly reviewed a project to upgrade the Campo da Feira de Nadela According to the regional government, the Conselleira met with Lugo’s mayor, María José Gómez to assess the site’s objectives and possible measures, Elena Candia. The project aims to improve how the site can be used while preserving defining features of its existing layout. No specific technical details, budget or timetable were given.
The square in Nadela is regarded as a traditional venue for markets and local festivals. In February 2026, the city council arranged cleaning and maintenance work to prepare the site for forthcoming events. This background illustrates its ongoing use and the recurring need for more permanent structural improvements. The Xunta’s statement says that, in its view, such markets play an important role in raising the profile and sales of regional produce, and that cooperation between regional and local government is central to modernising rural infrastructure.
The proposed improvements could, in the participants’ view, make regular use of Campo da Feira de Nadela easier to organise, improve access and increase safety. At the same time, balancing functional requirements with the preservation of features that shape the character of the area remains a planning and approval challenge. Without published information on funding or dates, it is unclear when work will begin and how extensive it will be.
Statements about the meeting, the project’s aims and the market square’s importance come from the Xunta de Galicia’s official statement. The municipal maintenance work in February is documented in a city council notice. No further documents on designs, funding or decisions had been made available at the time of publication. If the regional government or the Concello de Lugo publishes further details in the coming weeks, this should provide greater certainty about the plans and clarify responsibilities for construction, heritage protection and transport links.
What is clear is that Campo da Feira de Nadela remains a prominent place of local identity in Lugo, and the project review now under way is a formal step towards possible structural modernisation while preserving its historical connections.
