Find out more about Eduardo Pondal’s House

Pondal’s birthplace was built by his father in 1820, with the savings he collected in Argentine emigration. The ground floor of the house once served as a salt warehouse. In front of it was a mooring port for sailing boats that transported pottery from Buño, wood from Bergantiños, sand from the cove of A Insua and tile from the Rías Bajas.

Eduardo Pondal, born in 1835 into a family of rank, was, together with Curros Enríquez and Rosalía de Castro, one of the architects of the “Rexurdimento” of Galician literature and the main person responsible for the creation of Celtic myth in Galicia. Pondal forged a cultured literary language with which he extolled nature and the wild landscape of the lands of Bergantiños and Xallas, always present in his work.
