The surroundings of O Souto da Aldea
Information of interest
of the Ribeira Sacra
Our mother, as well as being a model of life: employee in her brother’s shop when she was young; emigrant in Eibar, she returns to the village to set up her shop-bar; she runs a restaurant where about fifty construction workers of the O Regueiro Power Station (Dragados, Isolux, Carro -company from Ordes- , Fenosa and self-employed) ate every day; second woman in the province to get a type C driving licence; taxi driver; lover of political information; great conversationalist; indefatigable worker… she has a prodigious memory. Thanks to her we were able to gather the following information about the agricultural use of our land.
