Although the park is called by the general name Alameda, it consists of three different parts: Paseo da Alameda, Carballeira (“oak grove” in Galician) de Santa Susana and Paseo da Ferradura. The resulting park has, since the 19th century, been the most important reference point for walks and leisure for Santiago’s residents; it is characterised by its pleasant atmosphere, as a kind of natural salon in Santiago de Compostela (La Coruña, Galicia).
