The San Adrián kiln is located in a protected natural area - the Site of Community Importance Ensenada de San Simón - of great beauty and importance, in a prominent position facing the sea. Its location is unusual in Galicia, as most of the industrial furnaces are inland, especially in areas with calcareous subsoils.

What is special about this kiln is that the limestone was brought by boat from Cantabria, which made the transport costs cheaper than transporting it by land and also explains the relationship between the kiln and the landscape in which it stands. A purpose-built quay was built for unloading the raw material, which was done by hand by the company's employees.

These stones were placed in the kiln and, once full, calcined, turning them into quicklime stones, which were then sold for various uses. This
