The Concello of As Neves suffered devastating fires in October 2017. The fires destroyed 90% of the forest, all of San Domenio as well as the neighboring mountains were completely burned. However, after this ecological disaster, one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the last twenty years came to light, known as the petroglyphs of A Coutada , in Taboexa.

Located in the parish of Taboexa, whose past is full of archaeological finds. Its petroglyphs, its mythical and legendary Castro Altamira, and its Roman presence (Note: bronze figure of the god Mercury found at the Capela San Bartolome) and many other discoveries make this parish a place without equal.
