Arrival of the Catalan salting industrialists

Historical milestone · Cariño, Ortegal, A Coruña

Image of Cariño, not of the place itself.

Catalan industrialists set up on this shore of the estuary salting factories that later gave way to the canneries; from that impulse came the growth of a port that in 1580 barely gathered two hundred households.
