In this geographical context, the population of the territory has evolved, adapting to the environment and taking advantage of the technology available at any given time. Throughout the project area we have evidence of human activities for more than 6,000 years, as evidenced by the Bronze Age burials scattered from O Forgoselo to the northern coastal boundary, followed by important references of the Iron Age and castrexas cultures. There is also evidence of Romanization and, above all, an important collection of heritage elements that began to gather in the Middle Ages – castles, monasteries, churches, crosses, anthropomorphic tombs, etc. – to which are added, precisely, examples of the evolution of the use of resources linked to the land and the sea: water and wind mills, granaries, ports, farmhouses, etc. And, in a higher substrate, all the immaterial culture associated with traditions and popular knowledge, among which the sanctuary of San Andrés de Teixido stands out as the end of a millenary spiritual path, assimilated by Christianity, which today is the second in importance in Galicia in terms of visitors, only surpassed by the various pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. The culture of the whole area is also expressed through its own gastronomy related to local products of the highest quality -fish, seafood, meat, vegetables, dairy products, honey…- which offer in this area the best slow food experiences, with all that this concept implies in terms of flavors and commitment to sustainable food production in social and environmental terms. If we combine a unique natural and historical heritage with an exceptional gastronomy -supported by a wide network of restaurants and points of sale- we will have two of the keys that explain why this area has become in recent years one of the major tourist destinations in the north of the Peninsula. But there is more, since the offer of routes and services to discover the territory is complemented by a wide range of events that connect directly with tradition or are new initiatives: the Festival of the Celtic World of Ortigueira, the Festival Irmandiño and the fairs of 11th and 23th in Moeche, the maritime processions of the seafaring towns -Cariño, Cedeira and Ortigueira-, the recovery of the Samaín in Cedeira and of the “mallas” -cereal threshing- in Cerdido, the international surfing event at the Pantín Classic fo Valdoviño, the Rural Fair of San Sadurniño. ..
