Historia
A miña avoa tivera que marchar a Arxentina no ano 1961 e despois de casar co meu avo José Martínez García, porque o irma da miña avoa reclamouna. Primeiro para emigrar a un país era necesario ter un familiar residindo nese territorio para facilitar o permiso de entrada, candochegaron ao porto, a miña avoa foi a entrevitas laborales, so puido conseguir traballo como limpiadora porque carecía de algun tipo de formación (ainda que ela era costureira). O primeira vivenda onde estiveron os meus avos cando chegaron a Arxentina, exactamente Buenos Aires, tiveron que vivir por un tempo nun comventillo, que era un lugar compartido donde so tiñas con sorte unha habitación individual sen ter que compartila. Durante o tempo que estiveron na Arxentina, os meus avos cambiaron varias veces de traballo, vivendo e mudaron de Buenos Aires a Mar de Plata. A miña avoa a idea regresar non lle gustaba xa que se adaptara aos avances que había ali e non quería volver a vida rural que había en Portumouro. Os meus avos tiveron que regresar a Galiza no ano 1976 por culpa do estado de saude do meu avó, porque o clima sentaballe mal.

Historia
A miña avoa naceu en 1939 en Galicia, España. Criouse nunha familia de tres irmáns, nunca época moi difícil onde era fácil pasar fame e non conseguir traballo. Ela nunca tuvo infancia, xa que traballou no campo desde que era pequena para poder alimentar á súa familia. Debido a esta mala situación decidiron emigrar a Uruguay, un país desenvolvido e con moitas oportunidades de traballo. Aos 19 anos, en 1958, levarían a miña avoa cos seus irmáns a Montevideo para vivir unha nova vida, onde aprendería o oficio de perruqueira. Anos máis tarde coñecería a Manolo Montero, o meu avó, que tamén migraría a alí por motivos económicos. Rematarían casándose e tendo tres fillos, entre eles meu pai, decidindo así volver a Galicia con eles en 1975 ,tras acabar o Franquismo, para intentar superar a vida que lles quedaba. Ao final viviría máis momentos difíciles, pero ella seguiría loitando para manter a súa familia residindo actualmente nos Ánxeles, Brión.
