The wolfram fever

Historical milestone · Lousame, Noia, A Coruña

Image of Lousame, not of the place itself.

During the Second World War (1939-1945), German demand for wolfram filled the mines of San Fins, in Lousame, with workers who came from all over the comarca; the ore was brought down to Taragoña and shipped out through the port of Carril.

1940-1945
