    • 1877, Benito Pérez Galdós, Gloria:
      Después de atravesar un puente de madera, que sumerge en el salobre fango sus podridos pilotes, subimos una cuesta (casi estamos ya en Ficóbriga), desde la cual se ve la ría, dando vueltas como si no supiera a dónde va, ni dónde está el mar que la espera, metiéndose en todos los charcos de las marismas cuando hay marea, y huyendo de ellos aprisa desde que empieza la baja.
