                      Yesterday, the Vigo neighborhood of Coia was chosen as a finalist among 879 projects that will compete for the awards of the Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism, which will be held in Lima (Peru) in December. The pedagogical value of a work that has taken the Vigo neighborhood as its setting has placed it among the 18 finalists for the award in the pedagogical section, in which other candidates from Spain, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Colombia compete. “A Vila do Mañá” as the work carried out last year in Vigo is called, and previously in other Galician towns, is participated by students from the Alexandre Bóveda Institute and led by the architect Sandra González and the Composition Research Group Architecture and Heritage of the University of A Coruña.

The elderly who attend Agadea therapies in A Estrada launched the A vila de onte project this Thursday. Through a goose game board full of local allusions, the elders reviewed Estrada’s heritage and remembered missing works.

A Estrada already has his own goose game. The starting box is the Pazo de Oca, the garden of the goose (the goal) is the renovated municipal mall and the geese of the traditional board game here are beasts of the Rapa de Sabucedo. The horses allow you to jump from square to square, just like the apple blossoms in allusion to the local cider tradition. As in the traditional board, there are also bridges here, but in this case they are well known: Pontevea and Gundián. And of course there are dozens of monuments, because the game has been designed not only with a recreational purpose, but also educational, to promote the dissemination of and respect for local heritage.
