Traslatio: study and dissemination of maritime heritage

A systematic study of maritime architectural heritage along the southern estuary of Muros-Noia and the northern estuary of Arousa, Galicia, has uncovered a rich tapestry of small-scale traditional industries that shaped the region's identity. The Traslatio project identified key structures such as salting factories, canneries, shipyards, shellfish farms, and whaling factories, providing a detailed inventory that serves as a foundation for preserving and disseminating this heritage. By engaging with pilgrims, visitors, and local communities, the project fosters intergenerational dialogue, ensuring the transmission of maritime traditions associated with the Camino Francés and Northern Spain routes to Santiago de Compostela.
