La Pureza canning factory
A living vestige of the town's industrial heritage
Built in 1924, this factory was one of the main canneries in the area and is still dedicated to the production of seafood products today. Its imposing structure stands as a remarkable example of industrial heritage that reflects the profound importance that the canning industry had for the local economy and society during much of the 20th century and has ended up shaping a distinctive part of the Cariño landscape.
The factory is open to visitors and offers the opportunity to learn about the production process and the history of canning, with a small shop where you can purchase its products. In addition, its seafood preserves, along with vegetables and hand-crafted jams from local companies, can be found in specialist shops, gourmet shops and online platforms selling Galician products.
