Porto do Son, Coastal municipality in A Coruña province, Spain

Porto do Son extends across 23 kilometers of coastline along the Ria de Muros y Noia, featuring multiple beaches and the Sierra de Barbanza mountain range backdrop.

The Castro de Baroña, discovered in 1933, stands as a 2000-year-old Celtic settlement on a coastal promontory, now protected as Spanish Artistic Heritage.

The municipality preserves traditional fishing practices across its ten parishes, with local festivals occurring throughout July and August in various coastal towns.

The area maintains regular transportation connections to Santiago de Compostela, located 45 kilometers away, with numerous accommodations available along the coastline.

At the Castro de Baroña ruins, natural rock formations contain patterns that locals interpret as a lion's head, connected to Celtic clan renewal legends.
