"Erected at the foot of the wall of Monte Boi, very close to the place where the first native dead in the Old Continent was buried. It was inaugurated in 1993 by Felipe de Borbón to commemorate the V Centenary of the arrival of the Caravel Pinta to Baiona. It is the work of the sculptor Magín Picallo."
