The main focus of this line of work is the architecture and cultural heritage of the fishing town of Combarro (Pontevedra. Galicia). It is approached from the global perspective of the popular architecture of Galicia and the problems that are currently posed by the historical complexes that experience the impact of mass tourism, devaluing the cultural capital that serves as a basis for this activity.
I have published several articles on this issue in the journals Obradoiro, of the Colexio Oficial de Arquitectos de Galicia (21, 1992), Cadernos a Nosa Terra de Pensamento e Cultura (19, 1995) and Pontevedra. Revista de Estudos (24, 2015), and several monographs.

In 1991 I directed, within the Association A Solaina de Combarro, the research on the state of the Historical Site of Combarro, and directed the report sent to the Consello da Cultura Galega, to the Xunta de Galicia and to the Galician Parliament, entitled Informe sobre o Patrimonio construido do Conxunto Histórico de Combarro. Datos para a súa consideración como obxecto de espoliación. In 2015 the Revista de Estudios Provinciales de la Diputación de Pontevedra published this report in its entirety.
