Some of the Wind Mill Parks of Ferrolterra

The official total of the inhabitants of Ortigueira (18,426 in 1900) includes many families which dwell at some distance; the actual urban population does not exceed 2000. The industries are fishing and farming. Owing to the shallowness of the harbour large vessels cannot enter, but there is an important coasting trade, despite the dangerous character of the coast-line and the prevalence of fogs and gales. The sea-bathing and magnificent, scenery attract visitors in summer even to this remote district, which has railway and few good roads.

Climate

Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, it could be said that Ortigueira does not enjoy extreme oscillation in its weather conditions neither in winter nor in summer. The weather is mild all the year around almost as if we were talking about one only season, and that is very different to what happens in other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Like the rest of Galicia, it is rainy and beautifully green. Still, the summers tend to be a bit dryer than the winters. The Iberian Peninsula, or Iberia, is located in the extreme southwest of Europe. ... There are two well-known places called Galicia: Galicia (Spain), an autonomous community in Spain. ...
