A GUARDA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Written by Atlantic CultureScape Project Partner, University of Vigo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the southeast of Galicia, the river Mi\u00f1o, Mount Santa Tegra and the Atlantic Ocean guard over the municipality of A Guarda. The history of this land is largely conditioned by its geographical location.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mount Santa Tegra protects the community. The castro<\/em> at the summit shows us the long history of these lands. A walled settlement with gates to the north and south, it offers us the remains of houses, legends, petroglyphs, tales, ovens and other archaeological artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The River Mi\u00f1o brings the substratum of the earth that drains into the ocean right next to Mount Santa Tegra. Ecosystems that harbour knowledge linked to a river; old songs that resonate today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waters of the Atlantic nourish the people, who for millennia have built lives connected to the sea. Salt water that supplies the food necessary for life, the arghazo<\/em> algae that fertilizes the orchards, words with which to name the wind. Marine lives linked to an ocean that gives, but also takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land of the sea arts, which weave nets and carve wooden boats to the sound of the songs of tavern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
