ORTIGUEIRA

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 341 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORTIGUEIRA , a seaport of north-western Spain, in the province of Corunna; on the northern slope of the Sierra de la Faladoira, on the river Nera and on the eastern shore of the Ria de Santa Martaa winding,
rock
 -bound and much indented inlet of the Bay of Biscay, between Capes Ortegal and Vares, the northern-most headlands of the Peninsula. The official
total
  of the in-
341
habitants of Ortigueira (18,426 in 1900) includes many families which dwell at some distance; the actual urban
population
  does not exceed 2000. The
industries
  are fishing and farming. Owing to the shallowness of the harbour large vessels cannot enter, but there is an important
coasting
 
trade
 , despite the dangerous
character
  of the
coast
 -line and the prevalence of fogs and gales. The sea-bathing and magnificent scenery attract visitors in summer even to this remote
district
 , which has no railway and few good roads.
