In the Plaza do Castro, very close to the Mar de Santiago port, is the Monument to Ramón María del Valle-Inclán, one of the key authors of literature throughout the 20th century and the most illustrious resident of the seafaring town of Vilanova de Arousa.
The monument is a beautiful sculptural ensemble made up of five pieces made of bronze and 1.75 m high. In the central point is the statue of Valle-Inclán himself and, surrounding it, the representation of scenes from some of his most famous works: Max Estrella and Don Latino, The Marquis of Bradomín, The Prince Verdemar, Lucero and Mari Gaila.
