Sanxenxinos can now enjoy the Punta Vicaño park again, which has undergone a profound transformation by the City Council. The mayor, the popular Telmo Martín, and the mayor of the Environment, Juan Deza, visited the facilities of this green area. The main actions carried out consist of the delimitation of the pedestrian routes, the creation of a pond area in the center of the park and the planting of trees, creating two different habitats based on the species chosen.The repair of the roads was imposed by the severe deterioration of the dirt paths, destroyed by the torrents that were created by the rains. Now the drainage has been improved so that the park can be passed both in summer and winter.
Sheet of water
The pond is the great commitment to innovation of the government team in O Vicaño. It is a shallow sheet of water, located in the center of the green space and which reinforces the environmental variety of this privileged environment.Regarding the trees, the mayor recalled, during his visit, that two and a half years ago the City Council was forced to cut down an important part of the tall pines it contained. The reason was found in that these trees were diseased and their felling put an end to risks for pedestrians, as well as for healthy specimens if the problem continued to spread. After the reform of the O Vicaño park, now there is "an area with trees of species more typical of gardening and of great beauty." They will also bring their colors in autumn to this area. Sweetgum, ginkgo and beeches have been planted .The second replanted area is an area of ??Atlantic forest. In this area they have been put horseback, chestnut and holly, combined with more Mediterranean species such as holm oaks and cork oaks.
