history

Finds in the Serra Capelada show that the municipality was already populated in prehistoric times. At Monte do Limo were flint splitter found. Dolmens are located at the Coto de Lodeiro , the Hornacina Cave, the Coto da Zarza and two of them at the Garita de Herbeira .

The fortified settlements of Castro da Moura , Castro da Cancela and the Castro at the Punta do Castro prove that the place was also inhabited in the Celtic times. In San Xiao do Trebo there is a chapel on the remains of a Roman villa.

Later Cariño was a fishing village. In 1584 the community register recorded "39 citizens and 125 souls". At the beginning of the 17th century, Cariño became part of the county of Santa Marta de Ortigueira.

With the construction of fish canning factories at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, fishing took on larger proportions. The families of the factory owners, some of them immigrated from Catalonia , some of them from the surrounding area, formed a new upper middle class. In the catastrophic gallery of 1887, part of the ships and factories were destroyed. The protests of 1897, in which the greater part of the population took part and in which the Guardia Civil used force against the demonstrators, were also tragic .

Economic change led to the formation of a proletariat in the fisheries sector and a petty bourgeoisie, and the spread of women's work in industry. The workers joined, as in other fishing towns in Spain, union syndicates such as the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo . The Francoist repression after the coup d'état of 1936 , combined with murders, arrests and escapes into exile, was particularly severe in the region. Civil war and emigration drove fisheries and fish processing into decline.

From 1940 to 1960 this sector recovered. The fleet grew and was modernized. Deep sea fish such as tuna and hake improved the economic yield and the social situation of the inhabitants. As the yields from fishing gradually decreased, the mining and export of dunite led to new economic prosperity from the 1980s. It was then that cultural activities also flourished. The Festival de Teatro de Cariño was founded; for a time it was one of the most important theater meetings in Spain. Two training centers were opened. In 1988 the municipality of Ortigueira separated and became independent.

administration

When the community became independent, the socialist José Luis Armada became mayor. In 1995 Fernando Tallón replaced him from the conservative Partido Popular after two terms . After two more terms, Armada was re-elected mayor in 2003. In 2011 he was followed by Maria Purificación Seixido Gómez from the BNG as mayor.

The municipal council consists of three members of the BNG, four conservatives and three socialists. (As of October 2014)
