Explanation
A Maía Square has several shops and services, such as blocks of flats, cafeterias, a post office, clothing or animal shops, a bookstore, a cosmetics shop and a bazaar. It also has a few benches located throughout the square, presided over by a fountain placed in the center.
It is an important place for the inhabitants of Bertamiráns because it can be taken as a reference as the center of the town, and it is an easily accessible and well-located meeting place, since it's very close to the main street (Avenida da Maía).

Restaurants, cafeterias and bars

Explanation
I have chosen the Cotón because it is a cafeteria that I personally like a lot.
El Cotón is located in an old stone house on Calle Cachurra in Negreira, a town near Santiago de Compostela.
Last year it had a smaller local but since last Christmas is in a new larger place.
It is a bar decorated in stone and wood with some black iron lamps over the tables, the floor looks like cement and has drawn in black the river Tambre (a river near the town), this river also appears made of wood on the roof from the bar are also the names of places near the river.
I like to go to the Cotón because the owners are very hardworking and very kind people, who make a very delicious food. The best known are their sandwiches with many different ingredients(meat,chiken,tomato,onion,cheese,lettuce,etc) they also make mixed dishes and rations of a lot of things. too we must talk about the wonderful tapas that you get when you order a drink.

Explanation
"Toma Tomate" is a fruit store inside Bertamirans. Here you can not only see fruits and vegetables because there are also some liquors. It was opened over five years ago and it won his own clientele. The fruits and vegetables are inside some wooden boxes that give it a very ecological and modern look.

Explanation
The town hall is a very important building in Bertamiráns. This is where the major and his party meet to decide the future of the town and also to discuss new laws. The residents can go to the town hall to solve problems releated to the area.

Here meetings take place to organise special events like Christmas, Carnival or Magosto. They also arrange different types of contests both for adults and children, including the "literary contest". There are also advices who will help you with paperwork and advise you with what you need to do if you want to build a house. Our town is very useful!

With the photo I want to show our town hall but there were some works so I couldn't show the hole building.

Services

Explanation
This service is very common, everyone uses it. It's not cheap, but it's efficient. It is very efficient because it is until very late active service. The drivers are very sociable and will always smile at you. This service has a drawback, it pollutes a lot and most people prefer to use the bus because it is cheaper and if they do not leave them in the exact place they walk a little, but if in that place they want to go there are no bus stops nearby. They have no choice but to call a taxi which can leave you one step away from your destination
