Sculpture outside Negreira

[jennysa]

I am very intrigued by this sculpture on the way out of Negreira. Does anyone have any information about it?

It commemorates the departure of many of the Galician men to find work elsewhere to support their families.

It commemorates the condition of my feet and legs at this stage of my Camino...

Sculpture by Fernando García Branco, 1997. Amazing how many emotions sculptor has been able to portray using stone and bronze. For me, as an emigrant myself, unforgettably poignant.
..on a different note, right opposite (hidden inside cafe) a wonderful bakery, best, freshly baked bread on Camino! Don' t miss maize bread cut to order!

Extremely poignant.
We walked that way in 2016 I dont remember seeing the sculpture then. We saw it this year in the Spring .
