Negreira is the main town of the municipal association (Concello) of the same name in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia. 🤙

Along with the Pazo da Albariña manor house, the Pazo do Cotón stands out in the townscape. It is located on the Camino Real (Real Road) to Fisterra and was built between the 17th and 18th centuries. At the Porta da Capela, it spans the road with three arcades, and the upper wall is crenellated. The first settlements in the Negreira area were located at the strategically important ford over the Río Tambre, as well as on the main road to the coast (from Grandimirun, now Brandomil, to Aquis Celenis, now Caldas de Reis), and on the other hand, the riverside road along the Tambre, which connects the interior with the coastal region around Noia. Pre-Roman activities can be traced throughout the A Barcala area. The settlement of Nicraria Tamara is mentioned in Roman times, during which time silver mines were also exploited here. In 876, Negreira passed into the possession of the Compostelaan bishop Sisando by royal decree. In 979, Normans raided the Galician coast, and the town was wiped out. After the threat from the Normans and Moors was overcome, the town was rebuilt in 1113. The Catholic Monarchs granted the town a royal privilege known as the Fuero Real, which secured Negreira's independence from the Compostelaan archbishop. Charles V renewed the privilege in 1520.

Hape Kerkeling, a well-known comedian in Germany, set out on the Way of St. James through Spain in 2001 and kept a diary that was later published as a book. In the 'Real Monasterio San Zoilo', he writes: "The enormous crucifix hangs directly above it, and for the first time, I consciously perceive that the crucified Christ is clearly looking in one direction: From our perspective, in most depictions, Jesus Christ is looking to the left. Towards the west. Towards the sunset, the night, and death. But from his perspective, he is looking to the right, to the east. Towards the sunrise and life. What appears to us as a gloomy end is, in truth, for him a radiant beginning. And without a doubt, only his perception can be considered the correct one." (Hans-Peter Kerkeling in "I'm Off Then. My Journey on the Way of St. James") Even though this cross here on the coast—which for many centuries represented the "end of the world"—is without a body, we can certainly adopt Christ's perspective as we gaze upon the endless expanse of the sea.

The key feature of these granaries—which were always deliberately built on stilts—is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped top at the top of the supporting pillars. This special construction feature for the "horreos" was vitally important in ancient times: these elements represented an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as rats and mice, thus protecting the harvest from these unwelcome guests.

We are at the end of a long journey. At the dreamed halfway point. A look at the ocean and a photo.
