Marín

Marín extends along the southern shore of the Pontevedra estuary, featuring a natural harbor protected by surrounding hills and coastal formations.

The area's name evolved from San Xiao Ancorados, referencing the numerous ships that would anchor near the coast during ancient maritime trade routes.

The Spanish Naval Academy shapes the local identity through maritime education, with annual ceremonies attended by the Spanish Royal Family during Carmen Day.

The municipality connects to major transportation networks through the PO-546 road, providing direct access to Pontevedra city center within 15 minutes.

The Palace of Cadro, standing as the earliest pazo construction in Galicia, represents the traditional manor architecture of the region.
