If you’re looking for an interesting and off-the-beaten-path destination in Spain, visiting Ria de Muros will be the best decision. This small town is located on the Galician coast, and it’s well worth a visit if you’re interested in history, culture, and stunning coastal scenery. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what Ria de Muros offers visitors.
Muros is an historic town with small narrow streets to explore. In the heart of the town is the Plaza de la Constitución, a beautiful square flanked by arcades and a large church. The town is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy its medieval charm. You can spend a couple of hours wandering around these small streets with local bars and restaurants nestled in between.
We arrived to Muros by sail boat and settled in to the main anchorage outside the marina. A point to note, contrary to the Reeds Almanac (2022) and Pilot Book (2019), is that there is NO fuel berth for pleasure boats – only fishing boats. If you are looking Muros to be a fuel stop, you will be required to take your portable fuel tanks to the local car filling station 10 – 15 minutes walk across town (as directed by the marina staff).
We arrived on a bank holiday weekend and although it did not both us too much, there was a rather loud party/disco/rave(??) event taking place in town (close to the water’s edge) which we could hear in the background until around 0530hrs. A large number of motorbikes (around 200) passed through the town along the coast road at around lunch time on the Sunday. On Sunday and the following day (Monday 15 August 2022), most shops were closed for the Fiesta.
The only place to land your dinghy (if using the anchorage) is the main public slip way. The marina do not permit use of their facilities. There are secure attachment points to padlock and secure your outboard and dinghy on the slip way if required.
The local area is very picturesque with a number of small coves and beaches to explore by dinghy. We spent a couple of days exploring the coastline, which is dotted with small fishing villages. The scenery is simply stunning and well worth the effort to get there.
So, if you’re looking for an interesting place to visit in Spain, we highly recommend Muros. It’s a charming town with plenty to see and do, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We think it’s well worth the trip.
