Hotel Bienestar Moaña

Moaña is a municipality located in Galicia, Spain in the province of Pontevedra. In 2018, it had a population of 19,448 inhabitants. It is one of the five municipalities with Bueu, Cangas do Morrazo, Marin and Vilaboa that forms the peninsula of O Morrazo. This peninsula separates the Ria of Vigo from the Ria of Pontevedra. The coast of Moaña has several beaches and the area combines tourism with traditional seafood production. The surrounding sea contains sea farms where mussels, oysters and other species are cultivated and it is an idyllic place for practicing sea sports activities. The Strait of Rande, where the Rande Bridge now connects Moaña with the municipality of Redondela, was the scene of the Battle of Vigo Bay. Moaña has developed a significant cultural life with the highlights of this being the Interceltic Festival of Morrazo, the Week of Carnival and numerous other local feasts. Social movements were relevant in Moaña in the first half of the 20th century where the presence of the CNT was significant. In fact, the current local pub/bar for retired people was the head office of this syndicate in Moaña during the Second Spanish Republic.

As you stroll through the charming streets of Moaña, you'll notice the town's rich past. The area was inhabited by Celts and Romans before being conquered by the Moors in the 8th century. Today, remnants of this history can be seen in the town's architecture, including the 17th-century Church of Santa Catalina and the 18th-century Plaza del Concello.

But Moaña isn't just a town stuck in the past - it's also a hub for modern-day Galician culture. The town is known for its seafood, particularly its fresh octopus, which you can enjoy at one of the many local restaurants. And if you're lucky enough to visit during one of Moaña's festivals, such as the Festa da Auga (Water Festival) or the Festa da Vila (Town Festival), you'll get a taste of the town's lively spirit.
