Explanation
This pharmacy is located in Bertamirans, on Avenida Mahía street. The owner is Maria Ferreño. Pharmacies are important because we find the medicines we need to cure ourselves, and pharmacists who help us use them well. You can also make master formulas. This happens when a patient needs a personalized medication and that the pharmaceutical industry does not. We can also find creams for the care of our skin and hygiene products. For babies there are also the foods they need for their first year of life and for their hygiene. The mother can consult all the questions that arise and so there will be no problem. Currently it is thinking that the pharmacists personally take the medication to elderly patients who live alone. The elderly also want the pharmacist to monitor the medication they take so that the doses are adjusted to their needs and do not become intoxicated. Over time, basic health checks will be made so as not to saturate the medical centers and thus better serve the patients.

Explanation
The element that we choose is a church that is located in Bertamiráns next to a pazo called Peregrina. It is a Christian building where people who believe in God go to pray. The church is made of stone with a large double door, in its facade it has a stained glass window and in the upper part a bell tower with two bells. Above this is the symbolic cross.

This church is important for the citizens of Bertamiráns because it is the place where all the believers in God meet to pay homage and ask forgiveness for their sins to Jesus. This is very important for them because in their lives this action helps them. As it is the only church in Bertamirans and its surroundings, many people gather in it every day, especially on Sundays. It is not only used to pray, but also for religious events such as weddings, baptisms or communions.
