Muros is a charming coastal fishing village located in the province of A Coruña, Galicia and can be reached on foot from the Ancoradoiro if you like walking. The original urban structure of Muros and the architectural and archaeological interest of its heritage earned it the declaration of Historic-Artistic Monumental Site in 1970. It stands out for the typical seafaring arcades of its houses, under which in the past the fishing gear was arranged and the fish was salted.

You will also discover two of the town’s most unique squares between the streets Real, Axesta and Paseo de la Marina: the Plaza de Santa Rosa, with its beautiful 1789 cross, and the Plaza de la Pescadería Vieja, where you will find a curious stone fountain and numerous taverns.

Its port is the heart of the town and is home to an active fishing fleet. As well as being an important source of the local economy, the harbour is also a tourist attraction due to its picturesque views and the opportunity to see the daily catch of fresh fish and shellfish which are then sold at the local market.

Among the monumental buildings, the Casa Consistorial, the Mercado de Abastos or the Arco de Don Diego stand out. In addition, there are other places in Muros that are also worth a visit, such as, for example, the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Camino or the old Collegiate Church of Santa María, whose current name is the Church of San Pedro.

The prehistoric engravings found in various parts of the municipality are another of the main attractions of Muros. It is possible to go on various hiking routes through the mountains surrounding Muros.

It is also worth mentioning the Camino de santiago de la ría Muros-Noia. It is one of the most recent Xacobean routes and is becoming increasingly popular. It was officially recognised as a Xacobean route last December 2020 and allows you to reach the Cathedral of Santiago starting in the town of Muros and following different towns located on the banks of the estuary of Muros-Noia and then go inland and continue until you reach the Cathedral of Santiago.

Muros also has 25 kilometres of coastline with wide beaches. In addition to its natural beauty, Muros is also famous for its delicious food, including fresh seafood and fish which can be enjoyed in its many restaurants and bars.

Its harbour, the heart of the town and home to an active fishing fleet, is also a popular meeting place for locals and visitors, where you can enjoy the typical wines and tapas of the region in the many bars and restaurants that line the harbour.
