Ortigueira is a seaport and municipality in the Province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain; it is located on the northern slope of the Serra da Faladoira, the river Mera and on the eastern shore of the Ria de Santa Marta—a winding, rock-bound and much indented inlet of the Bay of Biscay, between Capes Ortegal and Bares, the northernmost headlands of the Peninsula.

Port of Espasante (Ortigueira)[link]

The industries are fishing and farming. Owing to the shallowness of the harbour large vessels cannot enter, but there is an important coasting trade, despite the dangerous character of the coast and the prevalence of fogs and gales.

Michael McGoldrick (b. 1971, Manchester, England) is an Irish flute and tin whistle player. He also plays the Uilleann pipes and low whistle.

Bands[link]

McGoldrick has been a member of several influential bands. In 1994 he was awarded the BBC Young Tradition Award, and in 2001 he was given the Instrumentalist of the Year award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

McGoldrick was a founder-member of the Celtic rock band Toss the Feathers while still at school. He also competed at that time in the Fleadhanna with Dezi Donnelly (fiddle) and John-Jo Kelly (bodhrán), whom he had met at local Comhaltas meetings. He made appearances at various local and national festivals and ran whistle/flute workshops at the Cambridge Folk Festival and for Folkworks on their "Flutopia" concert tour.

McGoldrick formed the band Fluke! (later renamed as Flook) with Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen in November 1995. After one tour, he left to pursue other projects.

He was an early member of Lúnasa from 1997 until roughly 2000 and played on their first two albums. He also joined Capercaillie in 1997, playing on two albums.

McGoldrick has played regularly for Afro-Celt Sound System and Kate Rusby's band. As of 2011^[update] he leads the Michael McGoldrick Band.

He has recorded four solo albums: Morning Rory showcases his traditional skills. Fused explores several other musical genres including trance, while Wired, released in October 2005, takes the experimental approach of Fused even further. His latest album Aurora, released in 2010, is less experimental but still adventurous. He also recorded an album, At First Light, with John McSherry (also ex-Lúnasa) going back to his traditional roots.

In 2010 Michael replaced John McCusker, joining Tim O'Brien on Mark Knopfler's US leg of the Get Lucky Tour.

Félix Samuel Rodríguez de la Fuente (March 14, 1928 – March 14, 1980) was a Spanish naturalist and broadcaster. He is best known for the highly successful and influential TV series El Hombre y la Tierra (1975–1980).^[1] Degree in medicine and self-taught in biology, he was a multifaceted charismatic figure whose influence has endured despite the passing years.^[2] His knowledge covered areas such as falconry^[3] and ethology, emphasizing the study and living with wolves. Rodríguez de la Fuente also served as expedition guide, photo safaris in Africa, lecturer and writer, and contribute greatly to environmental awareness in Spain at a time when Conservationism was unheard of in the country. Its impact was not only nationally but also internationally and it is estimated that their television series, broadcast in many countries and in full force today, have been seen by several hundred million people. He died in Alaska while shooting a documentary about the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, when the Cessna 185 aircraft carrying him, two Spanish cameramen and the American pilot crashed, killing all onboard.
