Pontedeume is inseparable from the Andrade family, who used to rule this area in the Middle Ages, and reminders of whom you will come across numerous times.
The Camino Inglés enters Pontedeume after crossing the river Eume, after which the town gets its name (Ponte do Eume simply meaning 'Bridge across the Eume'.)

Torreón dos Andrade
The 14th century tower of the Andrade family is all that remains of their palace, which was demolished in the beginning of the 20th century. The coat of arms of the Andrade on the southern façade of the tower was originally a part of the palace.
