The Department of Rural and Agricultural Policy of the Asturian Government currently has sixteen land consolidation projects underway in Cangas del Narcea, which will help clarify ownership, increase land value, and improve access on an area of 4,465 hectares, as reported by the Asturian Government through a press release.
The Minister responsible for this sector, Marcelino Marcos, visited the council on Thursday, emphasizing the importance of these actions, which enhance the value of the estates through parcel grouping and infrastructure improvement. Additionally, he explained that they help to maintain population levels and promote sustainable and rational use of agricultural, livestock, and forestry assets.
Eight out of the sixteen consolidations, totaling 757.61 hectares, are being carried out on privately owned land. They are located in the mountains of Aciu; Casares; Faéu; Pixán; Villar d’Adralés, Foncava, and Vil.larmental; the Sandamías valley, as well as in the surroundings of Ciérades.
The remaining eight, covering a total area of 3,708 hectares, correspond to the following rural areas in Cangas: Araniegu, Olgu, and Paraxas; Adralés, Vil.lar d’Adralés, Carbaéu, and Amáu; Arganza and El Puelo; L.lavachos; Outás, Arbolente, Piedrafita, and Jalón; Vil.lar de Bergame, Nandu, Tandes, and Siasu.
Marcos shared this information during the delivery of property titles for the land consolidation of the Sanmartín mountains, whose work has already been completed. The initiative transformed 284 small parcels into 18 new estates, in addition to enhancing access through the repair of a 1.5-kilometer road.
Subsequently, the Minister visited the works of the land consolidations in Araniegu, Olgu, and Paraxas, as well as in Adralés, Vil.lar d’Adralés, Carbaéu, and Amáu. The first project, carried out by Contratas Fernández Granda S.L., will involve an investment of 943,623 euros. The second, awarded to Trabajos Salense S.L., amounts to 1,228,071 euros. Marcos took the opportunity to highlight the road network improvements in both consolidations.
Additionally, the Head of Rural Affairs announced that the next Government Council will approve the public utility declaration of six other land consolidations. Two of them are also located in Cangas del Narcea: one in the parish of San Cristobal, and the other will expand the consolidation of Nandu, Tandes, and Siasu.
