She was born in 1901 in Bouzadrago, Entrimo, Galicia.During the Spanish conflict, Castro Laboreiro received dozens of refugees. Rosaura was arrested for the first time in 1936 by Spanish riflemen for smuggling and solidarity with the fugitives. She ended up being arrested several times.She was the sentimental companion of José Rodriguez Páramo, a member of the anti-Franco guerrilla group set up in Castro Laboreiro by the famous Asturian communist Manolo Dente de Ouro.Arrested on 26 August 1943 for collaborating with the armed resistance, she arrived in Ourense on 28 September 1943. She was released by the Council of War on 19 December 1944.She lived in this house until her death in 1987.The Calcanheiras family, who still own the house today, donated the land and some local neighbours helped with the construction.It's a house that tells stories in a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Here, you'll be part of a legacy well marked by the lands of Castro Laboreiro!
