The constant exodus of thousands of Galician inhabitants to America, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, is one of the most remarkable events of the recent history of Galicia.

Those fortunate people, who achieved the longed-for desire to return to their homeland rich and wealthy, felt the need to externalize their triumph showing their new economic and social situation. One of the ways of achieving this was through the construction of cosmopolitan buildings, dominants in the rural and urban landscape. In order to achieve this, they used large windows, elegant and distinguished decorative elements and/or care gardening where the characteristic palm tree, the mythical «victory tree», was rarely missing, a distinctive emblem of the Indiano condition of its owner.
