Ortigueira es un municipio de la Provincia de La Coruña y pertenece a
 la Comarca del Ortegal (Cerdido, Cariño, Mañón y Ortigueira).&lt;br /&gt;

El municipio de Ortigueira tiene una superficie de 209,60 kilómetros 
cuadrados y 6.871 habitantes, siendo el más poblado y más extenso de 
toda la comarca del &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortegal&quot; title=&quot;Ortegal&quot;&gt;Ortegal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

En su extenso territorio se pueden encontrar paisajes montañosos como la sierra de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capelada&quot; title=&quot;Capelada&quot;&gt;Capelada&lt;/a&gt; con montañas como &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Concepenido&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Concepenido (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Concepenido&lt;/a&gt; de 572 metros de altura o las sierras de &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faladoira&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Faladoira (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Faladoira&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriscada&quot; title=&quot;Coriscada&quot;&gt;Coriscada&lt;/a&gt;
 que tienen alturas superiores a 600 metros. En cuanto a paisajes de 
interés geológico cabe citar las playas de Espasante, la playa del Picón
 y Coasta Xuncos, donde afloran rocas de origen volcánicos.&lt;br /&gt;

La &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADa_de_Ortigueira&quot; title=&quot;Ría de Ortigueira&quot;&gt;ría de Ortigueira&lt;/a&gt; se adentra hacia el interior formando una depresión con el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADo_Mera&quot; title=&quot;Río Mera&quot;&gt;río Mera&lt;/a&gt; que sirve de frontera natural con el municipio de Cerdido. La ría de Ortigueira es uno de los humedales más importantes de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia&quot; title=&quot;Galicia&quot;&gt;Galicia&lt;/a&gt; siendo uno de los cinco espacios protegidos de la comunidad por el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convenio_de_Ramsar&quot; title=&quot;Convenio de Ramsar&quot;&gt;Convenio de Ramsar&lt;/a&gt; y siendo el más grande de todos ellos.&lt;br /&gt;

En el humedal conviven 93 tipos de animales &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrados&quot; title=&quot;Vertebrados&quot;&gt;vertebrados&lt;/a&gt; (18 considerados de importancia internacional) entre los que hay 68 especies migratorias de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aves&quot; title=&quot;Aves&quot;&gt;aves&lt;/a&gt;, 9 especies de &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mam%C3%ADferos&quot; title=&quot;Mamíferos&quot;&gt;mamíferos&lt;/a&gt; y 9 especies de &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anfibios&quot; title=&quot;Anfibios&quot;&gt;anfibios&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

La ría, además, está incluida desde el 9 de marzo de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990&quot; title=&quot;1990&quot;&gt;1990&lt;/a&gt; en el registro de espacios naturales de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia&quot; title=&quot;Galicia&quot;&gt;Galicia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Hay vestigios arqueológicos en forma de castros y útiles de que hace 
35.000 años había asentamientos en la zona formados a partir de nómadas.&lt;br /&gt;

Se conservan restos del Megalítico, según el historiador romano 
Plinio el Viejo (siglo I) en esta zona habitaban los arronis o arriones,
 que llamaban a su territorio Arrós.&lt;br /&gt;

Ptolomeo (siglo II) denominó a este territorio como &quot;Lapatiancorum&quot; o
 &quot;Trileuco&quot; (tres bancos) en posible referencia a los picos denominados 
Aguillóns del Cabo Ortegal (que figuran en el escudo del ayuntamiento).&lt;br /&gt;

El nombre &lt;i&gt;ORTIGARIA&lt;/i&gt; aparece en la Edad Media en una relación 
de tierras incluidas en el condado de los Montenegro, uno de los once 
que constituían Galicia.&lt;br /&gt;

En el año 929 el rey astur-leonés Alfonso IV puso las tierras de 
&quot;Orticaria&quot; bajo el mando de uno de sus sobrinos, Gutiérrez (padre de 
San Rosendo).&lt;br /&gt;

En la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edad_Media&quot; title=&quot;Edad Media&quot;&gt;Edad Media&lt;/a&gt; Ortigueira logró el título de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa&quot; title=&quot;Villa&quot;&gt;Villa&lt;/a&gt; durante el reinado de &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_X&quot; title=&quot;Alfonso X&quot;&gt;Alfonso X&lt;/a&gt;, que le concede el &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foro_de_Benavente&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Foro de Benavente (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Foro de Benavente&lt;/a&gt;.

El 15 de noviembre de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1442&quot; title=&quot;1442&quot;&gt;1442&lt;/a&gt; Ortigueira se convierte en &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condado&quot; title=&quot;Condado&quot;&gt;condado&lt;/a&gt; bajo Diego Pérez de Sarmiento.&lt;br /&gt;

Se construyó además el puerto, las murallas defensivas y los 
almacenes de sal, siendo estas infraestructuras un empuje a la economía 
local.&lt;br /&gt;

Desde el año &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1480&quot; title=&quot;1480&quot;&gt;1480&lt;/a&gt;, -siguiendo los lineamientos del &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estado_Moderno&quot; title=&quot;Estado Moderno&quot;&gt;Estado Moderno&lt;/a&gt; impuesto por los &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reyes_Cat%C3%B3licos&quot; title=&quot;Reyes Católicos&quot;&gt;Reyes Católicos&lt;/a&gt;-, el Condado queda integrado como comarca de la nueva &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincia_de_Betanzos&quot; title=&quot;Provincia de Betanzos&quot;&gt;provincia de Betanzos&lt;/a&gt;, una de las siete que conformaban el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reino_de_Galicia&quot; title=&quot;Reino de Galicia&quot;&gt;Reino de Galicia&lt;/a&gt; en el &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiguo_Regimen&quot; title=&quot;Antiguo Regimen&quot;&gt;Antiguo Regimen&lt;/a&gt;, hasta la supresión de dicha entidad provincial, por el &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Decreto&quot; title=&quot;Real Decreto&quot;&gt;Real Decreto&lt;/a&gt; del 12 de marzo de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1822&quot; title=&quot;1822&quot;&gt;1822&lt;/a&gt;, que sancionó la creación de las cuatro provincias gallegas actuales, integrándose a partir de dicho momento, dentro de la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincia_de_La_Coru%C3%B1a&quot; title=&quot;Provincia de La Coruña&quot;&gt;provincia de La Coruña&lt;/a&gt;,
 hasta la actualidad. De esta forma, los ortigueirenses fueron 
provinciales brigantinos durante casi 3 siglos y medio, (342 años).&lt;br /&gt;

Entre los años &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1888&quot; title=&quot;1888&quot;&gt;1888&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916&quot; title=&quot;1916&quot;&gt;1916&lt;/a&gt; nacieron periódicos como &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=O_Faro_de_Ortegal&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;O Faro de Ortegal (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;O Faro de Ortegal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Revista_Ortegana&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Revista Ortegana (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Revista Ortegana&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=El_Condado_de_Ortigueira&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;El Condado de Ortigueira (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;El Condado de Ortigueira&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=El_Faro_de_Veiga&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;El Faro de Veiga (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;El Faro de Veiga&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=La_Voz_de_Ortigueira&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;La Voz de Ortigueira (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;La Voz de Ortigueira&lt;/a&gt;, lo que indica una época de esplendor de la villa durante aquellos años.&lt;br /&gt;

La Voz de Ortigueira, cuyo primer número vio la luz el 4 de junio de 
1916, continúa actualmente editándose cada semana. En sus páginas hay 
texto informativos y colaboraciones de opinión; en cuanto a los temas 
que aparecen, hay desde temas de índole local hasta artículos de 
problemas regionales y nacionales, siendo estos últimos los que menos 
interesan a los lectores del semanario ya que cada viernes lo que buscan
 son las noticias locales, las esquelas, los anuncios de viajeros que 
van y que vienen, las peticiones de mano y bodas, etc.&lt;br /&gt;

Algunos colaboradores habituales suelen ocultar su identidad bajo 
seudónimos y expresan su opinión crítica sobre los políticos locales o 
sobre otros temas.&lt;br /&gt;

Durante esta época también se construyó el &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teatro_da_Beneficencia&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Teatro da Beneficencia (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Teatro da Beneficencia&lt;/a&gt;, el antiguo Escolar y el paseo de la Alameda.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Festival do Mundo Celta de Ortigueira&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

En Ortigueira se celebra anualmente desde 1978 el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_de_Ortigueira&quot; title=&quot;Festival de Ortigueira&quot;&gt;Festival Internacional do Mundo Celta&lt;/a&gt;. Las fechas de celebración coinciden con el segundo fin de semana del mes de julio. En &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008&quot; title=&quot;2008&quot;&gt;2008&lt;/a&gt;
 irán por la edición XXIV, ya que el festival no se celebró durante 
varios años. En la actualidad el festival cambió su nombre oficial por 
el de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_de_Ortigueira&quot; title=&quot;Festival de Ortigueira&quot;&gt;Festival de Ortigueira&lt;/a&gt;, acogiendo músicas de tipo folk ajenas a los límites iniciales de los &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naciones_celtas&quot; title=&quot;Naciones celtas&quot;&gt;países celtas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Escola de Gaitas de Ortigueira&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Así mismo hay diversas asociaciones culturales; la Escola de Gaitas 
de Ortigueira es decana en su labor de difundir y enseñar la música 
tradicional actualmente cuenta con un gran número de gaiteiros adultos y
 niños,y hay varias asociaciones musicales en todo el ayuntamiento 
(bandas de gaitas, de música, corales, etc.) La Escola de Gaitas fue una
 iniciativa magnífica, a la que supieron dar vida varios ortigueireses 
capitaneados por &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Xavier_Garrote&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Xavier Garrote (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Xavier Garrote&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;alma mater&lt;/i&gt;
 de la música tradicional en Ortigueira y figura señera en Galicia, que 
fue fundador con Álvaro Fernández Polo, Jesús Losada Otero, Manuel Pérez
 Polo y otros, del Festival do Mundo Celta de Ortigueira.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Asociación Cultural Amigos del Arte de Ortigueira&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Otras asociaciones importantes son la Asociación Cultural Amigos del 
Arte,que desde 1984 tiene escuelas de pintura para niños y 
adultos,ganando varios alumnos certámenes y premios importantes. Fundada
 en 1984 por sus clases pasaron la mayoría de los niños y adultos 
entusiastas de la pintura, tanto de Ortigueira como de concellos 
cercanos como Mañón, Cariño y Moeche. Sus clases las dirigieron Anton 
Sobral, Manolo López-Quintana, Dory G. Granda,y actualmente Andrés 
Urrutia. Esta asociación convocó el 1º Certamen de Artes Plásticas de 
Ortigueira el año 1985 en el que participaron artistas noveles y 
consagrados de toda Galicia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Obradoiro de Gaitas&lt;/b&gt; En los locales del antiguo Escolar, de 
principios de siglo XX, que ahora ocupa la Biblioteca Municipal, estuvo 
durante un tiempo un obradoiro de gaitas gestionado por Antón Corral y 
Francisco Bermúdez.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
 &lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Patrimonio_arqueol.C3.B3gico&quot;&gt;Patrimonio arqueológico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
De la prehistoria resaltan el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen&quot; title=&quot;Dolmen&quot;&gt;dolmen&lt;/a&gt; &quot;Forno dos Mouros&quot; en la parroquia de Couzadoiro, y los castros próximos al mar situados en Espasante.&lt;br /&gt;

El convento de Santo Domingo es originario del siglo XIV, si bien el edificio actual es del siglo XVIII.&lt;br /&gt;

En este edificio se encuentra la iglesia de Santa Marta,la sede del ayuntamiento y el &quot;Teatro de Beneficencia&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

El teatro citado cuenta con frescos realizados en el año 1892 por 
Vicente Martínez y se encuentra en perfecto estado después de la 
oportuna restauración.&lt;br /&gt;

De entre los &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazo&quot; title=&quot;Pazo&quot;&gt;pazos&lt;/a&gt;
 destacan los de: Brandariz, que perteneció a los Ponce de León; el de 
Riomayor (Senra); el de Rasamonde (Espasante); O Souto (Mera); Abasteira
 (Senra).&lt;br /&gt;

El antiguo escolar, diseñado por Julio Galán en 1909, acoge 
actualmente la biblioteca municipal &quot;Fernández Latorre&quot;, y el archivo 
municipal.&lt;br /&gt;

En los antiguos locales de la Cámara Agraria (y antes cine) se encuentran la Fundación Ortegalia y el Museo.&lt;br /&gt;

Valdoviño y laguna de A Frouxeira.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Valdoviño&lt;/b&gt; es un municipio &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espa%C3%B1a&quot; title=&quot;España&quot;&gt;español&lt;/a&gt; situado en el noroeste de la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comunidad_aut%C3%B3noma&quot; title=&quot;Comunidad autónoma&quot;&gt;comunidad autónoma&lt;/a&gt; de &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia&quot; title=&quot;Galicia&quot;&gt;Galicia&lt;/a&gt;, en la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comarca_de_Ferrol&quot; title=&quot;Comarca de Ferrol&quot;&gt;comarca de Ferrol&lt;/a&gt;. Ocupa una franja costera desde la playa de Campelo hasta la entrada de la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADa_de_Cedeira&quot; title=&quot;Ría de Cedeira&quot;&gt;ría de Cedeira&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

En esta población se llevaron a cabo en el siglo XVIII (1767) los primeros cultivos de patatas traídas desde América.&lt;br /&gt;

Las playas del término municipal de Valdoviño son muy populares por 
su paisaje natural y entre los aficionados al surf. Entre ellas, 
destacan el arenal de Frouxeira, de unos 3,5 &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Km&quot; title=&quot;Km&quot;&gt;km&lt;/a&gt;
 de longitud, y la playa de Pantín, en donde anualmente cada mes de 
septiembre se celebra el Pantín Classic, campeonato internacional de 
surf que comenzó su andadura en 1988.&lt;br /&gt;

La laguna de A Frouxeira es un destacado ecosistema de gran valor 
ornitológico por ser lugar de descanso de aves migratorias y de cría de 
algunas especies de aves.&lt;br /&gt;

Probablemente el origen del nombre Valdoviño procede de valle de 
Aviño, lugar y arroyo de las cercanías. Es común la creencia que asimila
 Valdoviño a Valle del Vino, si bien, jamás se cultivó vino en este 
lugar demasiado expuesto al Atlántico.&lt;br /&gt;

Alternately. the origin of the name comes from the legend of a Breton saint, &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferreol&quot; title=&quot;Ferreol&quot;&gt;Ferreol&lt;/a&gt;, who arrived here on a ship, amid a chorus of seven siren.&lt;sup class=&quot;Template-Fact&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia:Citation needed&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;This claim needs references to reliable sources from January 2013&quot;&gt;citation needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; Another tradition says that &lt;i&gt;Ferrol&lt;/i&gt; proceeds from &lt;i&gt;farol&lt;/i&gt;, alluding to the heraldic figure that appears on the coat of arms of the city.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-3&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol,_Galicia#cite_note-3&quot;&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;
 However, according to experts, the origin of the arms of Ferrol goes 
back only to the eighteenth century, and there are also several variants
 used over time, without having been set in accordance with the 
applicable legislation since the 1990s.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-4&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol,_Galicia#cite_note-4&quot;&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The combination of two words that can mean either &#39;port - close&#39;, &#39;landing on pillars&#39;&lt;sup class=&quot;Template-Fact&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia:Citation needed&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;This claim needs references to reliable sources from January 2013&quot;&gt;citation needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;

With the arrival of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Bourbon&quot; title=&quot;House of Bourbon&quot;&gt;Bourbons&lt;/a&gt; in the 18th century, Ferrol became a leading naval centre.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-9&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol,_Galicia#cite_note-9&quot;&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Ferrol was made &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Structure_of_the_Spanish_Navy_in_the_New_Millennium&quot; title=&quot;Naval Structure of the Spanish Navy in the New Millennium&quot;&gt;Capital of the Maritime Department of the North&lt;/a&gt;, formed under &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_VI&quot; title=&quot;Ferdinand VI&quot;&gt;Ferdinand VI&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_III_of_Spain&quot; title=&quot;Charles III of Spain&quot;&gt;Charles III&lt;/a&gt; for the defence of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_colonization_of_the_Americas&quot; title=&quot;Spanish colonization of the Americas&quot;&gt;Spanish Colonial Empire in America&lt;/a&gt;. Rapid improvements followed, notably under the leadership of the &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen%C3%B3n_de_Somodevilla_y_Bengoechea,_Marquis_of_Ensenada&quot; title=&quot;Zenón de Somodevilla y Bengoechea, Marquis of Ensenada&quot;&gt;Marquis of Ensenada&lt;/a&gt;,
 and the position of Ferrol was made almost unassailable from the sea, 
the difficulties of disembarking troops on its precipitous coast being 
strengthened by a renewed line of fortresses and newly built castles, 
including that of San Carlos.&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Dockyard&quot; title=&quot;Royal Dockyard&quot;&gt;Royal Dockyards&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Gra%C3%B1a&quot; title=&quot;A Graña&quot;&gt;A Graña&lt;/a&gt; and Ferrol, built between 1726–1783,&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-10&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol,_Galicia#cite_note-10&quot;&gt;[10]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; produced ships protected with copper sheets from the rolling mills of Xubia. In 1772, &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spanish_Royal_Academy_of_Naval_Engineers&quot; title=&quot;The Spanish Royal Academy of Naval Engineers&quot;&gt;The Spanish Royal Academy of Naval Engineers&lt;/a&gt; of Ferrol, the first such academy in Spain, was created.&lt;br /&gt;
Ferrol was virtually impossible to &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade&quot; title=&quot;Blockade&quot;&gt;blockade&lt;/a&gt;
 in the age of sail, as strong westerly winds would take any blockading 
force away along the treacherous north coast of Spain where they had no 
safe haven. The geography of Ferrol meant that an entire Spanish fleet 
could slip out on a single tide. By the time the British were able to 
resume the blockade, the Spanish would be safely away and out to sea. 
Despite these advantages, a decline set during the reign of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_IV_of_Spain&quot; title=&quot;Charles IV of Spain&quot;&gt;Charles IV&lt;/a&gt;, and in 1800, during the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol_Expedition_%281800%29&quot; title=&quot;Ferrol Expedition (1800)&quot;&gt;Ferrol Expedition (1800)&lt;/a&gt;,
 after the defences had been reduced, a British fleet of 109 vessels 
landed troops on the beach of Doniños to take the Castle of San Felipe. 
Although only equipped with meagre artillery, the castle&#39;s small defence
 force under the command of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrade&quot; title=&quot;Andrade&quot;&gt;Count Donadio&lt;/a&gt;
 together with a sizable number of volunteer citizens of Ferrol, 
successfully resisted the attack and the fleet withdrew. The alliance 
with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom&quot; title=&quot;United Kingdom&quot;&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/a&gt; during the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsular_War&quot; title=&quot;Peninsular War&quot;&gt;Peninsular War&lt;/a&gt;
 of 1808-14 failed to prevent the deterioration in the town’s fortunes. 
The arsenals and fortresses were abandoned and they were easily occupied
 by the French in &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_corunna&quot; title=&quot;Battle of corunna&quot;&gt;1809&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

 Ferrol lost its title of capital. New activities sprang up, however, in

For a period of sixteen years, all the technicians were exclusively 
British, and the situation was not altered till 1925 when the management
 was taken over by Spanish engineers, as one of the new policies 
introduced by the then newly created government, including ministers 
both civil and military, of the dictator &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Primo_de_Rivera&quot; title=&quot;Miguel Primo de Rivera&quot;&gt;Miguel Primo de Rivera&lt;/a&gt; (1923–1930). The arrival of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom&quot; title=&quot;United Kingdom&quot;&gt;British&lt;/a&gt; coincided with the construction of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram&quot; title=&quot;Tram&quot;&gt;local electric-powered trolley streetcar’s line&lt;/a&gt; (1924–1961).&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-16&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrol,_Galicia#cite_note-16&quot;&gt;[16]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

El castillo de Pambre está ubicado a orillas del &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=R%C3%ADo_Pambre&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Río Pambre (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;río Pambre&lt;/a&gt; en el municipio de Palas de Rey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
 &lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Historia&quot;&gt;Historia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
La fortaleza se erigió a final del siglo XIV de la mano de &lt;a class=&quot;new&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gonzalo_Ozores_de_Ulloa&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1&quot; title=&quot;Gonzalo Ozores de Ulloa (aún no redactado)&quot;&gt;Gonzalo Ozores de Ulloa&lt;/a&gt;. En &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1484&quot; title=&quot;1484&quot;&gt;1484&lt;/a&gt;
 pasa a ser propiedad de los condes de Monterrei como fielato con 
funciones militares de custodia del Camino de Santiago y de cobro de 
portazgos. Con el tiempo, la estabilidad interna de Galicia dentro del 
conjunto de los reinos de España y la decadencia del Camino de Santiago 
tras la Reforma Protestante del centro y norte de Europa, ocasionan que 
su función principal acabe derivando en núcleo de producción 
agropecuaria de las tierras vinculadas a la propiedad de la fortaleza, 
en la rica comarca lucense de A Ulloa. Esta situación es la que refleja 
el documento de aforamiento a perpetuidad del año 1702, que describe la 
ruina de la construcción principal y confirma el foro a la familia 
Moreiras, que ya venía ejerciendo como caseros desde tiempo atrás.&lt;br /&gt;
A mediados del siglo XIX el Duque de Alba cede la propiedad a la familia Moreiras. En 1895, un secretario del &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duque_de_Alba&quot; title=&quot;Duque de Alba&quot;&gt;duque de Alba&lt;/a&gt; realiza una venta ilegítima de la propiedad (la fortaleza, las viviendas anexas y las tierras vinculadas) por 27.000 &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peseta&quot; title=&quot;Peseta&quot;&gt;ptas&lt;/a&gt;
 a José Soto, vecino de Palas de Rei. Esta venta no llegó a consolidarse
 al ser denunciada por la familia Moreiras, que continuó ejerciendo la 
propiedad y a la que los tribunales otorgan definitivamente la razón en 
1912.&lt;br /&gt;
El último propietario de la familia Moreiras fue &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Garc%C3%ADa_Blanco&quot; title=&quot;Manuel García Blanco&quot;&gt;Manuel García Blanco&lt;/a&gt;,
 polifacético erudito, recordado catedrático del Instituto de Lugo, 
Delegado Provincial de Estadística y miembro correspondiente de la &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Academia_Galega&quot; title=&quot;Real Academia Galega&quot;&gt;Real Academia Galega&lt;/a&gt; y de la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Academia_de_la_Historia&quot; title=&quot;Real Academia de la Historia&quot;&gt;Real Academia de la Historia&lt;/a&gt;,
 quien reivindicó en repetidas ocasiones, sin éxito, su puesta en valor 
por parte de las instituciones, fundamentalmente la Diputación 
Provincial de Lugo y el Ministerio de Cultura. Al final de su larga 
vida, vende la propiedad a Manuel Taboada Fernández, que la cierra y la 
sume en el abandono, dejando arruinarse las construcciones y acabando 
con la producción agropecuaria.&lt;br /&gt;
En el año 2009, por disposición testamentaria de Manuel Taboada, pasa
 a ser propiedad de los Hermanos Misioneros de los Enfermos Pobres, 
organización benéfica de la ciudad de Vigo, con quien en 2011 la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junta_de_Galicia&quot; title=&quot;Junta de Galicia&quot;&gt;Junta de Galicia&lt;/a&gt; se encuentra en negociaciones para adquirir la propiedad.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_de_Pambre#cite_note-1&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Otra vista de la fortaleza.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
El es uno de los pocos ejemplos de arquitectura militar del medievo gallego que se conservan y que sobrevivieron a la &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revuelta_Irmandi%C3%B1a&quot; title=&quot;Revuelta Irmandiña&quot;&gt;Revuelta Irmandiña&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
La muralla exterior tiene un grosor de entre 2 y 2,5 metros, aunque 
en la entrada aumenta hasta los 5 metros. El acceso principal es un arco
 de medio punto y se puede apreciar el escudo de armas de los Ulloa en 
la clave. La capilla de San Pedro, que data del siglo XII, se encuentra 
junto a la entrada.&lt;br /&gt;
La fortaleza cuenta con una planta cuadrada de cuatro torres en los 
vértices y otra torre, la torre del Homenaje, de 11 metros por lado en 
el centro y de una altura de 3 plantas.&lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_de_Pambre#cite_note-2&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seguro que si habéis hecho, o tenéis pensado hacer, el &lt;a href=&quot;http://sobregalicia.com/2010/01/19/camino-frances-en-galicia-ruta-a-santiago/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Camino Frances en Galicia&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Camino Francés&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;para &lt;b&gt;peregrinar hasta Santiago de Compostela&lt;/b&gt; uno de los lugares que os saldrá al camino será &lt;b&gt;Palas de Rei&lt;/b&gt;,
 en la provincia de Lugo. Precisamente desde Palas de Rei se iniciaba la
 antigua decimotercera jornada calixtina. Si seguís esta ruta, a poco 
más de diez kilómetros de Palas encontraréis nuestro protagonista de 
hoy.&lt;br /&gt;
Nosotros tuvimos la suerte de llegar a verlo en uno de esos días tan 
típicamente gallegos, que para algunos es sinónimo de mal tiempo pero 
que para otros es la mejor estampa para hacer unas fotografías. Allí, en
 un horizonte de árboles, se encontraba nuestro &lt;b&gt;Castillo de Pambre&lt;/b&gt;, una de las postales más feudales más bonitas que haya podido ver en Galicia.&lt;br /&gt;
Puede ser imponente la palabra, sí. El Castillo de Pambre, quien se 
alza sobre un ligero peñasco a orillas del río Pambre,&amp;nbsp;data del siglo 
XIV. Fue solar de los Ulloa, y según nos cuentan fue uno de los pocos 
castillos que resistió a los embates antifeudales de las &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sobregalicia.com/2009/10/22/las-guerras-irmandinas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Guerras irmandiñas&quot;&gt;revueltas irmandiñas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Sólo con ver dónde está situado entenderéis el porqué.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-1219&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tal vez sea el mejor ejemplo de arquitectura militar de toda Galicia.
 La muralla tiene un espesor de más de dos metros, llegando hasta los 
cinco metros en la puerta de entrada, de la que pende el escudo de armas
 de los Ulloa. Nada más entrar, a vuestra derecha, tenéis la preciosa y 
recoleta &lt;b&gt;Capilla de San Pedro&lt;/b&gt;, construida en el siglo XII, antes incluso que el castillo.&lt;br /&gt;
En el centro del castillo se halla la Torre del Homenaje, rodeada por
 cuatro torres más pequeñas en las esquinas. Veréis la Torre del 
Homenaje coronada por una pequeña alfombra verde, testigo del paso de 
los años.&lt;br /&gt;
Os queremos hablar de él precisamente en estas fechas, ya que desde 
el pasado mes de junio se ha abierto al público para que podamos ver su 
interior. Hoy en día la fortaleza depende de los Hermanos Misioneros, 
quienes aceptaron las peticiones del &lt;b&gt;Ayuntamiento de Palas de Rei&lt;/b&gt; para abrirlo al turismo. Fijaros que desde su apertura hasta hoy lo han visitado ya más de cinco mil personas.&lt;br /&gt;
Resulta impresionante acercarse a él y descubrirlo casi escondido 
entre la espesura y las ramas secas de los árboles. Nos imaginamos que 
esto a la caída de la tarde, o con la llegada de la noche, debe ser 
impresionante. Un lugar para los amantes de la historia, la naturaleza y
 la fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;- Información adicional&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;· Horarios:&lt;/b&gt; Podéis visitar el Castillo de Pambre de 
martes a domingo, de 11.00 a 13.00 y de 16.00 a 20.00 horas. Las visitas
 al interior son guiadas.&lt;br /&gt;

/&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Similar to the Teracotta Warriors in China, these figures stand guard within Emperor Tu Duc&#39;s tomb complex.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prince Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Nhậm was born on 22 September 1829, and succeeded his father on the throne, with the reigning title of Tự Đức. His father, Thiệu Trị had passed over his more moderate eldest son, Hồng Bảo, to give the throne to Tự Đức, known for his staunch Confucianism and opposition to foreigners and innovation. The Nguyễn Dynasty were not particularly popular and opposition rallied to Hồng Bảo, who led a rebellion against his brother. Tự Đức suppressed the rebellion and imprisoned his brother, who killed himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tự Đức continued the policies of his predecessors, shutting Vietnam off from the outside world and refusing all efforts to modernise the country. Accounts of his personal life show a gentle and educated man, but his policies brought on conflict with Europe that Vietnam could not win. He oppressed all foreigners in Vietnam, especially the Christian community, calling their religion a &quot;perverse doctrine&quot;. The Christian mandarin Nguyễn Truong To, tried to convince Tự Đức that this was a suicidal policy, but he did not listen, confident that France was too involved with the chaos in Europe in 1848 to respond, but he was mistaken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France responded with a large military expeditionary force. The Nguyễn army fought bravely for some time, but their antiquated weapons and tactics were no match for the French, who suffered more from the climate and disease than from enemy resistance. With French forces moving closer, Tự Đức called upon his Chinese over-lord, the Qing Great Khan, for help and so ensued the Sino-French War. The fighting around Hanoi against China and the Black Flag pirates ended with France victorious and the Chinese gave up their position as feudal masters of Vietnam and recognised France as the ruling power over the region - a significant moment in the history of the region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feat.corank.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Feat Bookmark&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.firststepdating.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Find Love Near You&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://theviewers.ning.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Free Movies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://historyingeneral.blogspot.com/2010/06/guardians.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Charles)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4673711376_08853bc739_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103887543512391809.post-783905726451971250</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-03T12:15:06.522-07:00</atom:updated><title>General Beauregard Memorial</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/39669102@N07/3753558043/&quot; title=&quot;photo sharing&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2504/3753558043_a28b3db476_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: solid 2px #000000;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/39669102@N07/3753558043/&quot;&gt;General Beauregard Memorial&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Originally uploaded by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/people/39669102@N07/&quot;&gt;kwatson0013&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This memorial is dedicated to General Pierre Beauregard who was a Confederate General in the Civil War.

Note the scene has been anachronistically placed in a late Gothic setting.&lt;br /&gt;The Council of Clermont was a mixed synod of ecclesiastics and laymen of the Catholic Church, which was held from November 18 to November 28, 1095 at Clermont, France. Pope Urban II&#39;s speech on November 27 was the starting point of the First Crusade.&lt;br /&gt;In 1095 the Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus sent envoys to the west requesting military assistance against the Seljuk Turks. The message was received by Pope Urban II at the Council of Piacenza; later that year, in November, Urban called the Council of Clermont to discuss the matter further. In convoking the council, Urban urged the bishops and abbots whom he addressed directly, to bring with them the prominent lords in their provinces.&lt;br /&gt;The Council lasted from November 19 to November 28, and was attended by about 300 clerics from throughout France...&lt;br /&gt;...On November 27, Urban spoke for the first time about the problems in the east, as he urged Western Christians fight against the Muslims who had occupied the Holy Land and were attacking the Eastern Roman Empire. - enWikipedia&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feat.corank.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Feat Bookmark&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.firststepdating.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Find Love Near You&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://theviewers.ning.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Free Movies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://historyingeneral.blogspot.com/2010/04/council-of-clermont.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Charles)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4022/4304637768_dcb67ee9c7_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103887543512391809.post-8601515122279603864</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-20T08:27:16.767-07:00</atom:updated><title>San Francisco, 1939</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/32912172@N00/4537650344/&quot; title=&quot;photo sharing&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/4537650344_68c39ca30e_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: solid 2px #000000;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/32912172@N00/4537650344/&quot;&gt;San Francisco,  1939&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Originally uploaded by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/people/32912172@N00/&quot;&gt;bobster855&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A page from the book, &#39;San Francisco, West Coast Metropolis,&#39; published in 1939.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a cool photo. It shows City Hall reflected in the windows of the Opera House, where the San Francisco Symphony used to perform. The board shows the name of Pierre Monteux, who was the conductor from 1935 to 1952. Today, the symphony plays next door, at Davies Symphony Hall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feat.corank.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Feat Bookmark&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.firststepdating.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Find Love Near You&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://theviewers.ning.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Free Movies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://historyingeneral.blogspot.com/2010/04/san-francisco-1939.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Charles)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/4537650344_68c39ca30e_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
