Traditional engineering driven by the tide

This mill, built between 1905 and 1910 to harness the power of the tides for grinding grain, is the last of its kind in Galicia. Its construction was promoted by an emigrant who returned from Cuba and involved stonemasons from Pontevedra and local carpenters.
