Miño

Miño is a municipality located in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It is situated in the northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula, along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The town of Miño is the administrative center of the municipality.

The landscape of Miño is characterized by its coastline, which includes beaches such as Praia de Perbes and Praia de Miño, making it a popular destination for tourism, particularly during the summer months. The municipality also encompasses inland areas with agricultural land and some forested regions. The Miño River, the longest river in Galicia, flows nearby and contributes to the region's natural beauty, though the municipality itself is not directly on the main course of the river.

Historically, the area has been inhabited for centuries, with evidence of human settlement dating back to ancient times. Like much of Galicia, its economy has traditionally been linked to agriculture, fishing, and more recently, tourism. The municipality's infrastructure includes a road network connecting it to larger cities in Galicia and a railway station.

The culture of Miño is typical of the Galician region, with its own traditions, language (Galician), and cuisine. Local festivals and celebrations are part of the community's social life. The proximity to the sea influences many aspects of life in Miño, from its economy to its cultural identity.
