Cangas de Morrazo

Image of Cangas de Morrazo, not of the place itself.

A squadron of Turkish pirates devastated the town on 4 December 1617: thirty-three residents died, close to eighty were captured and almost two hundred houses burned, plunging into misery a port that was living its best moment.
