[tab:Travel]
Santiago de Sargadelos is a parish belonging to Cervo, framed in a city unknown to Marine Lugo. From the point of view of tourism with beaches and natural areas, but the traveler eager to find something else History. And it is a silent witness Sargadelos how during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries came to Spain's first industrial capitalism based on strict production control and factory workers. From the hand of Antonio Raimundo Ibanez, one of the most important industrial history of Spain, created a stunning ceramic works distributed over the decades its luxurious pieces worldwide. The impact of the work of this enterprising entrepreneur from Asturias profoundly changed the environment, and today it is easy to trace his footsteps with a driving tour of the area.
The coast of Lugo, perhaps, the coastal area less known in Spain. Because of this (or may result) is slow and tedious journey there is a, because from the northern cities, from Madrid or Barcelona there is always a guaranteed thing: Car countless hours traveling the back roads of all kinds. After all it is in the Navy from Lugo, which is as it is officially called the region, industrial archeology bath proposed in this paper is essential.
A good starting point for the modern traveler is circular Sargadelos, launched in 1970. Although the original project had been closed nearly a century ago, footprint in the region was so great that from the mid-twentieth century ceramics had been going on surrounding lands from. The process took part in various initiatives that crystallized with the opening of this new plant is now visited the public. Blending the latest technology with traditional working methods produced a ceramic that is distributed worldwide, and the tour inside the factory is an interesting approach to a dynamic production totally unknown to many people.
Although this visit is very striking perhaps the greatest interest lies in the archaeological remains of the original factory, which are a couple of miles away. Take the car and tour the green landscape is a fascinating experience Lugo, but we must pay attention to not spend the Historical Museum Sargadelos. Admission is free and it is reviewed, more extensive, the task of Raimundo Antonio Ibáñez and the role of pottery as an economic engine Sargadelos area. Visitors will find there historical information panels and parts, but without doubt the most rewarding is the deal with the museum staff. It's locals, with the kindness and the special character of the Galician is always happy to discuss historical anecdotes, on proposals to understand the environment or the best way to prepare caldo gallego.
Sometimes the stones speak, and in this case just close your eyes to feel the industrial bustle of another time
Once we toured the museum and treated with the loving locals will lead the way, finally, the archaeological remains. Are outdoors and probably put in value would be much more interesting, yet the visitor will find in them a genuine passport to the past. The ruins of the old Royal Factory Sargadelos, Paço de Raimundo Antonio Ibáñez, the building of the stables and the remains of blast furnaces are visited are enjoyed slowly, to sips. Sometimes the stones speak, and in this case just close your eyes to feel the industrial bustle of another time. At this point a question arises own devoted little attention to the leaders of the country's Spanish heritage: If this site was located in Germany or France would be better preserved? The debate is, but the answer seems obvious.
A perfect finale to this visit is to tour the Paseo two or Namorados Lovers Walk, a beautiful journey of just over a mile. Departs from the actual ruins of the factory and it is an incursion by nature particularly comforting. The sound of the river Junco, a small waterfall and thick lush greenery decorate a canvas simply delicious. Here is parked historical aspect of the tour to give way to delight the senses with a tranquil environment. I said, one and a fantastic finish to a tour of a little known area of the Iberian Peninsula.
