										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Hío Cross was sculpted by José Cerviño and symbolically and dramatically depicts significant moments of Christianity, from creation to redemption. Using Baroque iconography, the symbolism of the figures themselves is debated. It was created in 1872 and is divided into three large stone blocks. The first represents Adam and Eve committing original sin, the second corresponds to the shaft with the image of the Immaculate Conception, and finally, there is a representation of Christ&#8217;s descent from the cross. The Hío Cross is considered one of the most important crosses in Galicia. It is noteworthy that it was practically made from a single piece of granite. To visit it, you must go to the plaza of the Church of San Andrés in the parish of Hío, and if the visitor also wants to enjoy the famous Dance of San Roque, which is danced right in the parish atrium in front of the famous cross, save this date: August 16. Besides its history and monuments, Hío is a source of rugged nature. It is essential to visit the cliffs of the Costa de la Vela up to Cabo do Home, the Dunas de Barra natural park. If you are one of those who do not need excuses to start walking, the hiking route along the path leading to Monte do Facho will allow you to contemplate the Cíes and Ons Islands from a surprising setting.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[A ría is a geomorphological feature formed by the penetration of the sea into the mouth of a river. Thus, a ría could be defined as the shape taken by the mouth of a river in cases where a coastal valley is submerged by the sea as a result of a rise in its level. The Ría de Pontevedra is one of the main sea inlets of the Rías Baixas. With its 145 square kilometers of surface area, it is the third largest ría in Galicia. At the southern end of the ría opens the Aldán cove, which leads to the Ría de Aldán. In this ría are located the island of Tambo at the bottom of the ría and the Ons archipelago formed by the island of Ons and the island of Onza or Onceta situated at the mouth of the ría. The island of Tambo is a small island that has a lighthouse, three docks, and two beaches, Area da Illa and A Dreidá. On the other hand, the island of Ons is large and currently inhabited; together with the island of Onza or Onceta, this archipelago is part of the Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia. The depths of this ría range from 18 meters in the port of Marín to 60 meters at the southwest mouth of the ría. The closer to the interior of the ría, the greater the muddy or sandy sedimentation. In this ría are cities such as Pontevedra, fishing villages like Bueu, Marín, Combarro, or Loira, and tourist centers such as Sanxenxo and Portonovo, among others.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Massó Museum is located in the center of Bueu, very close to the port, housed in the industrial warehouses of the former Massó Hermanos cannery. Guillermo Marconi, during his visit to the factory in 1928, suggested the idea of creating a museum as he was amazed by the collection of navigation instruments, documents and ancient books, curious objects, and models of historic ships. The Massó brothers took his advice and built an additional floor over the oldest building. In 1932, the Massó Museum was born. In 1994, after the factory closed, the museum was acquired by the Xunta de Galicia and is currently open to the public. It also houses a valuable library specialized in maritime and naval topics, highlighting 20 incunabula, books printed in the early years of the printing press (1453-1500).

The museum is divided into four parts. The first is a large room on the first floor, where the exhibition revolves around the idea of the conquest of the sea. It is dedicated to navigation and the disciplines, such as astronomy, geography, and shipbuilding, that made its development and maritime trade possible. The room preserves the original museography from the 1930s. A second room is located on the ground floor and is dedicated to the exploitation of sea resources. Archaeological materials from the Roman-era (2nd-4th century) salting factory and amphora workshop of the Roman site of Pescadoira are exhibited. The narrative focuses on the industrial activity of the Massó family: their salting and canning factories and whale hunting, showcasing a unique collection in Spain.

The third room deals with traditional boats, exhibiting three of the most representative from the Ría de Pontevedra: the dorna, the &#8220;polbeiro&#8221; boat, and the large wreck of the last &#8220;xeiteira&#8221; launch.

The last room is dedicated to the old salting factory where eighteen vats from an early 19th-century salting facility, acquired by the Massó family in 1900 to be used as an anchovy warehouse, were recovered.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bueu is well known for its salted fish factories. At the end of the 19th century, the so-called Catalan promoters arrived here, who, seeing the production potential of the estuary, settled to establish numerous factories of this type of preserve. Along the municipality&#8217;s coast, there were about thirty factories operating. But this reputation dates back far, as in the Roman Era there were such enclaves where fish was salted for preservation, known as &#8220;Garum.&#8221; Thus, remains of Roman amphorae and the Pescadoira factory with several parts are found: some vats, a flour mill, some annexed facilities, and an ancient amphora kiln and another ceramic kiln. This is a type of ceramic called &#8220;San Martiño de Bueu,&#8221; and thanks to researchers tracing findings of this type of ceramic, it is known that Bueu&#8217;s preserves reached places as far as Lisbon or France. In the Middle Ages, the export from Galician ports of large quantities of salted fish, along with dried and air-cured octopus, destined for ports in the Cantabrian Sea, Portugal, and Andalusia, could have been one of the country&#8217;s main sources of wealth. Shipments of pickled oysters to Castilla are also documented. The sardine trade with the Levant during the 15th and 16th centuries suffered competition from North Sea merchants, who began exporting herring and Scandinavian cod, leading to a crisis that lasted until 1738, when trade with England was banned. With the Mediterranean markets&#8217; shortage and the sardine crisis, Catalan and Italian merchants came to the Galician coasts to buy sardines and preserve them using salting methods developed by themselves. These early commercial activities took place in provisional wooden facilities near the sea. The acquisition of &#8220;escochada&#8221; sardines (without head, spine, and guts) from Galician fishermen was made in exchange for products from the Levant, such as wine, brandy, and other liquors, oil and soap, as well as Danish cod. After the escochado process, the sardines were placed in brine and left to salt in vats for a whole day. The next day, they were removed from the brine and placed in barrels in a circular manner, adding salt between each layer to prevent contact between them. Once full, the barrel was sealed for commercialization. Meanwhile, the head and guts were pressed in the &#8220;talla&#8221; by placing a large stone on top of the lid. From this, the fat or &#8220;saín&#8221; was extracted, which was used for leather refining, wood protection, paint manufacturing, as lighting or lubrication oil, or for export to various European ports such as Hamburg, Liverpool, or London, and American ones like Havana. From 1810 onwards, local companies were formed that integrated into the maritime society of the time to exploit these resources, mainly sardines. Part of the profits was dedicated to the salted fish factories&#8217; own activities, such as building and modernizing facilities.]]></content:encoded>
