| The
historical Monte Neme
The
Neme mountain rises from the village of Razo providing a wide view
of Baldaio, Malpica and the
Sisargas Isles, Buno,
Carballo, and, far away in
the north-east, the Cape Prior in Ferrol. Neme
and Baldaio's sky is watched over by the Corvus corax and
Falco peregrinus.
According to history, early Galicians chose
this place for religious rites, as it is pointed out by the place
name " Neme " that means sacred in the old Galician-Celtic
language. In the summit of the mountain there was a cromlech
known as "Eira das Meigas" (land of witches), about which
traditional tales say that the stones were used as seats for the
witches who met there. The stone circle was destroyed in the wolfram
mining works during the II World War.
