This area was recently created, and on the shutters of the garages they put various murals of many themes so that the place would have "another air". There are writers, things from Galicia, etc.

In this garage shutter, there is the face of the middle-age writer, in blaks colours with a blue background. The glasses of that years are reproduced too. It was painted by Abram.

"Ramón Antonio Vicente Otero Pedrayo ( Orense , March 5, 1888 - Orense , April 10, 1976 ) was a Spanish writer and politician, ideologically linked to republican Galicianism .

Born in Orense on March 5, 1888, he belonged to the so-called Nós ("We") group. He worked different literary genres: essay, novel and poetry, in addition to geographical scientific studies from his chair at the University of Santiago de Compostela . In the Guide to Galicia , which he directed, there are some of his best contributions. A member of the Galeguista Party , he was a deputy in the Courts of the Republic.

Notable among his novels are Os camiños da vida ( The Paths of Life ) and O meson dos Ermos ( The Inn of the Ermos ), a detailed description of Galician customs and rural life. But the best known is Arredor de si ( Around oneself ), which can be considered partially autobiographical and allows us to glimpse the paths traveled by the members of the so-called Nós Generation until Galicianism. In this "autobiographical" sense, Arredor de si is completed with the articles Dos nosos tempos ( Of our times) by Florentino López Cuevillas, and with Nós, os inadaptados ( We, the misfits ) by Vicente Risco , the latter two appearing in the magazine Nós .

The library and the documents and writings of Otero Pedrayo are preserved by the foundation that bears his name and the Penzol Foundation, the former managing the Trasalba house-museum.
