The Battle of Pazos de Arenteiro

Historical milestone · Boborás, Carballiño, Ourense

Image of Boborás, not of the place itself.

Some three hundred countrymen led by Bernardo González del Valle, o Cachamuíña, stood up in 1809 to a thousand of Soult's soldiers on the bridge over the river Avia. Out of that resistance came the Batallón do Ribeiro.
