Muros
Muros is a popular summer resort with lovely, arcaded streets framed by Gothic arches. The quiet back alleys of the old town reveal some well-preserved Galician granite houses, but the real action takes place when fishing boats return to dock from the mussel-breeding platforms that dot the bay. At around 6 pm a siren signals the start of the lonja (fish auction), at which anyone is welcome, although you need a special license to buy. Good nearby beaches include Praia de San Francisco and Praia de Area.
