It was a town dedicated mainly to subsistence agriculture and livestock farming, with a population living on small family farms. However, with modernisation and economic changes, many young people decided to leave the countryside in favour of industrial or service jobs in the cities. Isolation, lack of infrastructure and low profitability of rural activities also contributed to depopulation. Today, O Picouto is an example of many Galician villages that are at risk of disappearing, preserving only a few elderly inhabitants and a landscape marked by empty houses and abandoned land.

O Picouto is a small town in Galicia that, like many rural villages, has seen a drastic decrease in its population in recent decades, to the point of having almost no inhabitants. The main reason for this depopulation is the rural exodus that began in the mid-twentieth century, when many of its inhabitants moved to larger cities in search of better job opportunities, better educational and health services, and a more comfortable life.
