Fene, Galicia
Encyclopedia : F : FE : FEN : Fene, Galicia
Fene is a city council of Ferrolterra in North-western Spain in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia. Ferrolterra's population represents the third largest concentration of people in Galicia, and its disperse population exceeds 211,000 (2005).
Population
The density of population is very uneven from one parish to the next, being those parishes closer to El Ferrol those which gather most of the population, and the more distant ones often have a near to zero densities.

Parishes
The borough can be divided into 8 parishes, also known as "Parroquias", which differ from each other in extension, population density, economic activities and levels of industrialization.
Industry
The Navantia Shipyards and services in the parts which are nearer Ferrol, the rest of the borough devotes itself to farming, agriculture and fishing.
In the late 1960s the gantry crane of the shipyards of ASTANO in Ferrolterra was the largest in Europe.
Climate
Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, it could be said that Fene does not enjoy extreme oscillation in its weather conditions neither in winter nor in summer. The weather is mild all the year around almost as if we were talking about one only season, and that is very different to what happens in other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Like the rest of Galicia, it is rainy and beautifully green. Still, the summers tend to be a bit dryer than the winters.External links
