"In 2011, seventy years after the arrival of the railway in Santiago de Compostela, the out-of-town trench occupied by the tracks remained an almost insurmountable barrier between the historic center and the neighborhoods that had emerged south of the railway line, with Pontepedriña at the forefront."
"On the other hand, this boundary had the effect of preserving the natural area of Las Brañas del Sar-a piece of priceless ecological value-untouched all this time."
In 2011, seventy years after the railway reached Santiago de Compostela, an out-of-town trench carrying the tracks continued to act as an almost insurmountable barrier between the historic center and neighborhoods that developed south of the railway line. Pontepedriña emerged as the most prominent of those neighborhoods. The trench physically separated urban areas, limiting access and interaction across the tracks. The boundary formed by the railway also protected the nearby Las Brañas del Sar, leaving that natural area essentially untouched and preserving its priceless ecological value amid surrounding urban expansion.
