The place name A Caniza

Curiosity · A Caniza, Paradanta, Pontevedra

Image of A Caniza, not of the place itself.

The name alludes to the canizos, huts of interwoven and thatched canes that the residents of Valeixe put up; the Castilianised form held out until in 2026 the official gazetteer restored the Galician A Caniza.
