The cetáreas are constructions destined to the raising of crustaceans such as lobsters and Norway lobsters. An essential requirement is that the cetárea be located by the sea, at a point where there is always a constant flow of water. That is why, as in this case, they are built in rocky or cliff areas. They represent a very important part of the Galician economy since the 19th century.

The Redonda Fish Farm, also known as the Redonda Fish Farm or Laxe da Can, is one of the most emblematic structures of A Guarda's maritime heritage.
Built in 1895, this artisanal fish farm was used to keep crustaceans such as lobsters, crayfish, spider crabs, and shrimp alive.
It is located in Cala da Cetárea, north of Área Grande beach.
Its well-crafted granite structure, reinforced with cement, took advantage of the tidal cycle: water entered at high tide and exited at low tide, naturally renewing the marine environment.
