Boiro

Boiro is a coastal municipality in Galicia with beaches and shoreline spread across several parishes. The town sits where hills meet the water, creating a landscape of fishing villages and natural coves.

Boiro grew around fishing activities in the medieval period, when fishing communities first settled along the coast. This maritime heritage continues to shape how the town looks and functions today.

The people of Boiro celebrate their identity through festivals and local gatherings that happen throughout the year. These events show how connected the town remains to its Galician roots and coastal traditions.

The area is best explored on foot or by car since beaches and villages spread across multiple parishes. Most shops, restaurants, and services can be found near the town center.

The municipality sits where the Barbanza mountains meet the Ría de Arousa, a large coastal inlet. This geography creates a distinctive setting where mountains and sea come together in close proximity.
