[3] It was with the urban expansion of the late 19th century, which made the architect Alejandro Sesmero effective, that the process of shaping this emblematic area was completed.

[4] Sesmero designed a project for the Alameda de Pontevedra as part of the city's bourgeois expansion and officially presented it on 29 April 1879.

[5] In 1886 the architect Alejandro Sesmero was commissioned to design and budget the bandstand, as part of the urbanisation of the Alameda and Gran Vía.

[6][7] Later, in 1927, the City Council commissioned the municipal architect, Emilio Salado, to draw up a project to embellish the western part of the Alameda with a privileged view of the sea.

[8] The current El Cafetín, located on the north side of the Alameda, is reminiscent of an old café from the beginning of the 20th century, which was in fact just a small kiosk offering drinks and other related products.

[9] The Alameda has an oblong or oval surface that runs from the vicinity of the Pontevedra City Hall in the Plaza de España in the direction of San Roque (former Moureiras).

This staircase is flanked by two six-metre high columns on which are placed the effigies of two stone lions bearing the city's coat of arms.

Carlos Sobrino created twenty-three tiles for the Alameda de Pontevedra with different landscapes and scenes, both rural and urban, painted in 1927 and made in Seville.
