The reorganization of the waterfront of Vigo is the focal point of 'Open Vigo to the Sea', a large urban scheme that has allowed to eliminate the barrier of port structures that separated the city from the sea and to create new public spaces. A series of interventions designed by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra and developed along a two-kilometer stretch of the waterfront, between the Plaza de la Estrella and the Plaza del Berbés, were carried out between 1994 and 2004. For this work the author received in 2005 the Spanish National Architecture Award.
