It was during this moment that not only 4 more Nautical Stations were certified, but also the Maritime Route of Santiago was presented.
The Nautical Portugal brand represents great value for the territory and is an instrument of cohesion. It is with great appreciation that I see this network of Nautical Stations also growing towards the interior. This is how we value the best that our people have. This is social cohesion and territorial cohesion”, said the Minister. About the Maritime Way of Santiago, she added that it is “an example of how we can recover History with modernity”.
