Insua dos Poetas, Literary park in Madarnás, O Carballiño, Spain
Insua dos Poetas is a literary park stretching along the Pedriña River, featuring sculptures and pathways that wind through Galician landscapes. The space combines artistic installations with walking routes and an outdoor auditorium for cultural events.
The park was founded to preserve the legacy of Galician literature, particularly celebrating authors from the Rexurdimento movement of the 19th century. This movement represented a cultural revival of the Galician language and identity after centuries of suppression.
Sculptures throughout the park display excerpts from works by Galician poets such as Francisco Luís Bernárdez and Eduardo Blanco Amor. Visitors encounter these literary texts woven into the landscape as they walk through the grounds.
The park features clearly marked pathways that are accessible throughout most seasons. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time for a leisurely walk to fully explore the installations and riverside routes.
The Fonte das sete palabras installation anchors the park with seven words significant to regional identity. This fountain structure serves as a symbolic centerpiece reflecting Galician cultural values.
