Pontedeume, Medieval coastal municipality in A Coruña Province, Spain

Pontedeume extends along the Atlantic coast of Galicia, featuring eight distinct parishes and a central district surrounded by agricultural territories.

Alfonso X the Wise established Pontedeume through a town charter in 1270, initiating the development of this strategic settlement on the Galician coast.

The municipality maintains strong connections to the English Way path of the Camino de Santiago, attracting numerous pilgrims throughout the year.

The municipal government provides educational services through facilities like Escola Infantil Chalé Rosa, supporting early childhood development programs.

The territory experienced a notable administrative shift when Vilarmaior merged with Pontedeume between 1877 and 1890, altering local population statistics.
