Foz

Foz is a coastal municipality at the northern edge of Galicia in Lugo Province, stretching along the Atlantic with multiple beaches and river estuaries. The terrain features natural spaces shaped by the meeting of waterways and ocean shores.

Celtic settlements once occupied this region and later came under Roman influence, shaping its early development. These connections established foundations for maritime trade and fishing economies that followed.

The municipality maintains Galician language traditions through local festivals, regional music performances, and traditional fishing practices passed down through generations.

This place is well-connected by local roads to other settlements in the region and provides access to beaches and natural areas. Basic services like shops and restaurants can be found in the central parts of the municipality.

Foz combines administrative functions with coastal geography, creating intersections between maritime activities, agricultural practices, and municipal governance structures.
