1 A Condomiña We are going to the bridge of A Condomiña. There is a small park on one side of the bridge where we´re going to play "Watch your step." Everybody is going to have a balloon tied onto each ankle. Then, the players need to try and pop the other player's balloons by stepping on them, without getting their own balloons popped. If both of your balloons get popped, you lose. (It takes 10 minutes for the explanation and about 20 minutes to play the game). 42,850000000 -8,633300000

Riddle
What kind of transport used the medieval bridge in contemporany times?

Medieval element
Remains of the Ermida
Structure
The Ermida disappeared in 19th century, with the Cross, because of a storm. The chapel is located around 200 metres away from San Marcos' lookout. There isn't much information about the chapel and the cross, but we know that the chapel's name was San Marcos, and its stones were used for buildings in San Amaro's chapel, Barouta, and in other villages. They were built probably in the Early middle ages, in a hillfort from the Iron age. We haven't got any more information. We got this information from AULA BAROUTA: http://picosanmarcos.blogspot.com.es/2015/11/riamonte.html Patrimonio Galego: http://patrimoniogalego.net/index.php/14988/2012/03/monte-san-marcos/ Concello de Ames: http://www.concellodeames.gal/info.php?informacion=92&idioma=gl&sec=96
