The Praza de Ferreiro de Negreira is linked to D. Roque Ferreiro y Hermida, Notary by profession and Administrator of the Palacete, member of the Progressive Party and his career was linked to the ups and downs of Spanish politics throughout the 19th century. He promoted the change of the municipal seat from Aro to Cotón, the old name of the Villa, and although he moved repeatedly, the Negreira City Council and the dependencies in his house were definitively consolidated for many years. He was a firm defender of the Judicial Party based in this legislature.
On September 13, 1866, he acquired the Pazo do Cotón for 14,000 escudos from Mr. Nicanor Manso de Zúñiga Ezpeleta, VII Count of Hervías, the last member of the nobility who had inherited it from his aunt in the fifth degree, Mrs. Francisca de Paula de Luaces e Saavedra who did not have children from her marriage to D. José Mariño de Lobeira.
With the Revolution of 1868 that caused the resignation of Queen Isabel II and marked the first attempt at a democratic regime, D. Roque Ferreiro presided over the Negreira Revolutionary Assembly to name the new corporation that replaced the conservative government, in which he held the position of Trustee, whose function was to guarantee the functioning of the institution and defend the rights of the administered. The recovery of the Judicial Party of Negreira was then promoted, suppressed in 1867 due to the indifference of the previous residents, the Ames City Council becoming dependent on the court of Santiago, and an assembly was convened with representatives of the other municipalities to request the replacement given the damage it caused to the economy of the Region and to the legal rights of the residents.
He led political life during the second half of the 19th century and upon his death in 1888 his son Ramón Ferreiro Varela inherited the Manor, who married his cousin Teresa Caamaño Ferreiro who married the local doctor Victoriano Fabeiro García. Her daughter Teresa Fabeiro Caamaño has a street dedicated to her in Nicrari.
The Praza de Ferreiro has undergone various modifications over time, in 1951 it was paved, closed and endowed with the current fountain and in 1988 it was remodeled and landscaped with the appearance it presents today. In the oldest house, the name that refers to the famous Roque Ferreiro y Hermida, Knight of the Order of Carlos III and owner of the Pazo do Cotón, is still blurred. plazadocoton.blogspot.com/2021/03/praza-de-ferreiro.html

Augapesada Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Cross the Augapesada river, also known as Rego dos Pasos. This river forms the so-called Ames or Covas valley and converges with the Sar river in A Condomiña (Bertamiráns). The current bridge must have been built between the 17th century and the first half of the 18th century, but since Augapesada was an important road junction, it is reasonable to assume that a previous infrastructure already existed. It consists of a lowered semicircular arch and two spillways. The road is made up of large granite tiles, it has a grade level with volume and the parapets are made of stone.

Pilgrims Reception Office

Highlight • Rest Area

At the end of the Camino de Santiago you can officially register as a pilgrim here in the pilgrims office. You will receive the so-called “Compostela” as a certificate for your pilgrimage and, if you wish, also a personal certificate on which your starting point and the kilometers traveled are noted. However, this costs around 5 euros. Do not forget your pilgrim ID, because it is required as proof for the Compostela to be issued. If you want to avoid long waiting times, I recommend going to the office early in the morning.

Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Various sightseeing tours can be booked in the cathedral. A tour leads over the roofs of the cathedral. In addition to the beautiful view over Santiago, the guide also draws attention to small features that are on the roof. For example, it points to a stone trough in which - directly above the grave of James - in earlier times pilgrims burned their clothes.
