Porto do Son

Porto do Son is a coastal municipality in A Coruña province featuring over 23 kilometers of shoreline along the Ria de Muros y Noia estuary. Multiple beaches and the Sierra de Barbanza mountain range create the setting for this ten-parish area.

Castro de Baroña is a Celtic settlement discovered in 1933 that dates back roughly 2000 years and sits on a coastal promontory. Today this site holds Spanish Artistic Heritage protection status.

Fishing shapes daily life across the ten parishes, where traditional practices remain visible in how locals work the waters. Summer festivals in different coastal villages reflect customs passed down through generations.

The municipality maintains regular transportation connections to Santiago de Compostela, roughly 45 kilometers away. Accommodations are available throughout the coastal area in different villages.

At the Castro de Baroña ruins, visitors can spot natural rock patterns that resemble a lion's head, a detail connected to ancient Celtic clan traditions. This formation has remained a notable landmark in local memory.
