If you have time, you can walk a few more meters along the estuary, until you reach the Molino do Pozo de Cachón, another of the most incredible places to see in Muros. This mill was in charge of grinding the corn grain with the force of the tides. A curiosity!

In the Gothic church of Santa María A Nova, you will find the Museo das Laudas. There, the more than 500 stone tombstones dated between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries are surprising.

The church of San Martiño has its own legend. Its tower was never finished and it was said that whoever dared to attempt it would face a fatal fate. To this day, the legend continues….

4 | Go hiking on the banks of the Tambre

Lovers of nature and walks really enjoy Noia, as there are several hiking trails here. You cannot miss the famous and photogenic suspension bridge

Drop by the beaches of Taramancos, Boa Pequena or Boa Grande, the last two with calm waters. And if you visit the busy Testal at low tide, you can see the work of the shellfish women in the estuary. The collection of cockles is a curiosity!
