Sculpture by Alfonso Vilar, created in 1994. Dedicated to the women who sell in the market what his men bring him from the sea. In this sculpture we can appreciate the hardships of the time in the clothes he wears “A Peixeira” in addition to being able to appreciate that she is barefoot. The basket that she carries on her head is called “patela” and in it she carried the “quiñón”, which was the part of the fish that corresponded to each one and that they exchanged for different provisions such as milk, eggs or corn. These wonderful women were the pillar that brought many families forward of the post-war hardships.

From there we have a stupendous panoramic view of the Ría de Pontevedra, with Bueu in front, Cabo Udra y Cabo Home, and the small beach of Caneliñas. The outlet of the estuary Pontevedra It is a common point of passage for cetaceans to the Atlantic.
