Key Facts

Moaña is a municipality located in the comarca of O Morrazo within the province of Pontevedra, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It is situated on the southern shore of the Ría de Vigo, one of the region's characteristic coastal inlets, directly across the water from the city of Vigo. The municipality occupies a peninsula that forms part of the larger Morrazo Peninsula, which separates the Rías de Vigo and Pontevedra. Moaña covers an area of approximately 35 square kilometers and has a population of around 19,000 inhabitants. It is administratively divided into five parishes (parroquias): Domaio, Meira, Moaña (the town center), Tirán, and A Caeira. The local economy has traditionally been based on fishing and shellfish harvesting, particularly mussels from the famous 'bateas' (rafts) in the ría, though tourism and services have grown in importance. The municipality features several beaches, hiking trails along the coast, and archaeological sites such as the Castro de Montealegre, a pre-Roman hillfort.
