Bueu

Bueu is a coastal settlement on the Morrazo peninsula between mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. It also administers Ons Island and its surrounding archipelago, which form part of a national park system.

Human settlement in this area stretches back to the Stone Age, with archaeological evidence showing continuous occupation over many centuries. Bronze Age fortifications discovered on Ons Island and at Castrillon mark periods of significant activity.

The fishing heritage shapes how the place looks and operates, with the harbor serving as the social and economic center of daily life. People here continue traditions passed down through generations of seafaring families.

The town center has medical services, schools, and sports facilities for visitors who plan to stay. Regular bus connections link the place to surrounding larger towns in the region.

The municipality has jurisdiction over Ons Island and its archipelago, which form part of a protected park area accessible by boat from shore. These islands offer a distinct landscape and history separate from the mainland settlement.
