Mañón

Mañón (Galician pronunciation: [maˈɲoŋ]), also registered in the past as Maañón 43°46′09.10″N 7°41′08.09″W / 43.7691944°N 7.6855806°W / 43.7691944; -7.6855806, is a municipality in north-western Spain in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia.

Mañón belongs to the Ferrolterra region of Ortegal and it is made up by five parishes, with 2,032 inhabitants, who are disseminated over its 82.1 km².

This council forms a narrow and long band of land that joins mountain, river and sea.

Mañón has a very particular geographical structure and the river Sor ploughs deep valleys with plenty of vegetation, which contrasts with the leafy high areas of the mountain range.

The rainfall is particularly abundant, but due to the relief, there are local microweathers, as happens in the banks of the river Sor, where the vegetation is partially responsible for the weather changes.
