O Porriño, Municipality in Pontevedra Province, Spain

O Porriño occupies 62 square kilometers within the Vigo metropolitan area, featuring eight distinct parishes and a population of approximately 19,740 residents.

The area contains evidence of Palaeolithic settlements in Gándaras de Budiño, and its development is connected to the Way of Santiago pilgrimage route.

The central San Sebastián square contains a community-built chapel that represents the original core of the municipality and local architectural traditions.

The municipality maintains strong industrial presence through its granite production facility and the As Gándaras industrial estate, exporting materials worldwide through Vigo port.

The town's signature Rosa Porriño granite, extracted from Spain's primary granite deposit, decorates the local Town Hall and supplies construction projects internationally.
