A group of architects and the Alexandre Bóveda high school community want to show that the neighborhood is much more than the Alcampo and the boat traffic circle.

One hundred and twenty young people from the Alexandre Bóveda high school in Coia were invited to draw on paper what they understand to be the greatest artistic, architectural and social heritage of their neighborhood, what they believe identifies it unambiguously. And ninety of those students between 14 and 17 years old agreed on the same image: the traffic circle with the Alfageme boat and the Alcampo hypermarket. From the front, from above, in the foreground, in pencil, in color… but always with the boat stranded in the middle of the traffic and the establishment that inaugurated a new way of buying and selling in Galicia as a reference.
