Espasante

Espasante Important Fishing Port in the Ferrolterra borough of Ortigueira in North-western Spain. From this port, which is at the other side of the Ria of Ortigueira, just in front of important fishing port of Cariño, large numbers of trawlers leave the locality every year heading to far distant places across the globe in pursue of precious tuna, cod, haddock and many other cuisine delicatessens.

O Concello de Ortigueira was internationally sadly famous on 1999, September 17th due to the Firecracker Banning Regulation which entered into force as a consequence of the accident in which the distinguished “Casa de la Vela” was partially destroyed by fire caused by a kind of firecrackers commonly used in traditional Spanish festivals. This regulation forbids any knid of firecracker use in O Porto de Espasante municipality.
