Calvary Calvary, urbanized rural Skip to only one year since entering the viguesa life, occurred when the annexation of the Mayor of Vigo washers. Calvary convirtírase more so in a neighborhood of the city. It was then the boundary between one and another municipality. Outside, it seems, an institution of the parish of Cabral and the time to integrate into the landscape of the city, belonged to the Santa Cristina de washers. Its development started in the stage when they built the road-Villacastín Vigo. A road that extends from the Puerta del Sol came to the top of Puxeiros.
Ruabamos sometimes the neighborhood Precure peasant roots. Because the land had once been a land where human presence was testifying at the same time. The way to join all the people living in its vicinity. The fields, crops, the prairies, the arbored, followed the path. At some point looked over as the mountains sank into the half light of dusk. Sites that later found in our view the development of core amosábannos peasants to the type of belt city. Fixérano with admirable use of forms of land in the Valley Fragoso.
first imagined the lives of the people the neighborhood. The ears of people who lived not yet open bruídos of machinery and mechanical appliances. Had not yet gone the simplicity of rural life. Also silandeira energy that would be a little exhausting. Also conceivable the labors of campuses, which preceded the conversion urbanizing, and over time in four seasons. The storms of winter, the days of harvest fruits and grains. The force of the spring slop, the quiet death of autumn. Often, the fog stretched its gloom over the fields.
not come to know the opening moments of the tram, which was one of the key elements of transformation Calvary. If we conserve the memory of the people using them. They were mostly workers who commuted to work, and women carrying goods to sell in the plaza. Because the district is characterized by the working class environment, through agricultural. Remember that there was still fielatos to check goods entering the city. One of the most important was installed at the intersection of whiners. The fielatos casetas were square, some small, others larger. Casilleiros had to control people passing the site, and who traveled by streetcar. Its function is to impose a special tariff for bulto and loads.
The paths that were once sulcaban Calvary trading on the streets. On Thursdays, with gardens and fruit, limiting, parceláronse and erguéronse them homes. Survive in our memory that played some of the change. The market street of Christ was established in one formed by a large oak wood. The opening of new streets, parcelación, creation of new solar, attracted a lot of people, especially workers.
Dexergamos as in successive years was growing in the urban landscape of the neighborhood. Emerged as the Avenue of Doblado, Ronda, to generate de la Fuente. Already by 1960 there observed the area of \u200b\u200bEl Calvario charging new kicks. They were to complete the corresponding to the Urzaiz. The old neighborhood was gaining on the humane and environmental improvement. However, thinking of Vigo dabámonos pontenciaba neighborhoods that growth. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth convirtírase in modern industrial city. Or come in a large labor market. But there was a long way to walk.
came to mind the arrival of a large population that helped transform its urban fabric. Several cores Extrarradio, alonxados the landmark, character suburbial, alonxaban to this population. The wealth and geographical location, were instrumental in the conversion of the city center atraemento peripheral zone. First, the City of Bouzas. Later that of Washers and Teis. At a later stage, comarcal the peripheral area. In
inaugural day of our gait for the convenience of what we're talking about, already had an intense development agent. But he had lost all presence of his rural background. Although the wind could move the treetops. He could still combing the hair of a river fainting. Or toss just the crackling palporizamento some eucalyptus. Sorprendíanos sobrepóndose would like the construction of farmland, as the old ways instead becomes the modern streets. Went out sometimes on the outskirts, where they were still living samples of the landscape. The light, which seemed particularly at dusk, with the joyous news of their nuances.
We keep in memory the times of growth is still ongoing in the district. The process of filling voids. The replacement of homes in rural Vigo-axis Calvary. The sewing of important peripheral zone with the center. Indeed, the significant contribution of washers provided the vitalism of the city. Not only as regards the significant contribution that vitalism washers provided in the city. Not only as regards the extension of the municipal area, but the volume up demographic.
