Verín, Administrative municipality in southeast Ourense, Spain
Verín stretches along the Tâmega River valley at 373 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains and situated 15 kilometers from the Portuguese border.
The settlement evolved from Santa María de Verín in medieval times into a strategic point during conflicts between Portugal and Spain, marked by the Castle of Monterrei.
The winter carnival features the Cigarrón tradition, where participants wear masks and leather suits with bells, running through streets with whips following ancient customs.
The A-52 motorway and N-525 highway connect Verín to Madrid and Ourense, while three mineral water plants operate within the municipal boundaries.
The municipality produces wines under the Monterrei denomination, with vineyards extending across the valley slopes near the Portuguese frontier.
