Discover Marín
MARÍN AT FULL LIFE
Discover the heart of the Morrazo region
Marín is the gateway to the Morrazo Peninsula, an enclave of great fishing, commercial and military importance that is nourished by the estuary and the rich countryside. With the contrast between the sea and the mountains, we bring visitors a duality that makes you fall in love. The “castrexos” (Iron Age settlers) and the Romans used to inhabit here. However, it was not until the twelfth century, thanks to the monks of Oseira, that our town arose as San Xiao de Ancorados, a priory that administered the local fisheries.
It was then referred to as the Town and Port of Marín, made up of the parishes of Santa María do Porto, Seixo, Mogor, Ardán, O Campo, Santomé de Piñeiro and San Xulián. With 24,154 inhabitants (INE 2024), we are just a few kilometres from the city of Pontevedra, in the heart of the famous Rías Baixas region. Our warm white sandy beaches and turquoise colour make us the perfect destination for sea lovers, a privileged setting in our particular “Galifornia.” Do you want to discover us?
