| summary= The '''Ria de Muros''' is situated on the coast of [[NW Spain]] around 12 miles SE of '''Cape Finisterre''' and 25 miles N of the [[Ria de Arousa]]. A very wide and deep ria, there are several small harbours and anchorages around its shores where a yacht can find shelter in most conditions, plus two small marinas at Muros on the W side and Portosin on the E. The town of Muros itself is historic and attractive, one of the few along this coast to have remained largely untouched by the Napoleonic and Spanish Civil wars. Shelter in the ria is good in the prevailing winds, although strong southerlies send in a big swell.

The ria is largely sheltered from the prevailing N/NW winds, but southerlies can raise an unpleasant swell if they are strong.  It is necessary in these conditions to tuck well in behind the breakwaters of the two harbours or Muros or Portosin or berth in the marinas to get shelter. Fog can also be a problem, as it is along most of this coast.

==Anchorages==
-
*
+
It is possible to anchor off either of the two harbours of Muros and Portosin.  Of the two, Muros offers better shelter in the prevailing winds.
-
*
+
-
===Eateries===
+
Much of the bay of Muros is filled with mussel rafts, but it is possible to anchor in 6.0 – 8.0 metres N of the harbour. The holding is only moderate in mud and shingle, so it is wise to consider entering the marina if the weather turns. Shelter here is good in most conditions, although it becomes very uncomfortable and possible untenable in easterlies when Portosin is a better bet.
-
*
+
-
*
+
-
===Internet/WiFi===
+
At Portosin, anchor off the small sandy cove N of the harbour in 8.0 – 10.0 metres. Holding is moderate to good in sand and shingle. This position is good in settled weather or southerlies, but strong N or W winds make it untenable and you are better off at Muros.

Muros town is one of the few largely unspoiled fishing ports along the coast, with a delightful warren of old streets and historic buildings, including some fine churches and squares dominated by carved stone calvaries (stone crosses). In the church of Santa Maria do Campo is a remarkably realistic and rather gruesome altarpiece showing a lifelike Christ on the cross. Portosin is less attractive but is a good base for a visit to the historic town of Noia 10 km to the NE.

Anchorage off Muros

The Ria de Muros is situated on the coast of NW Spain around 12 miles SE of Cape Finisterre and 25 miles N of the Ria de Arousa. A very wide and deep ria, there are several small harbours and anchorages around its shores where a yacht can find shelter in most conditions, plus two small marinas at Muros on the W side and Portosin on the E. The town of Muros itself is historic and attractive, one of the few along this coast to have remained largely untouched by the Napoleonic and Spanish Civil wars. Shelter in the ria is good in the prevailing winds, although strong southerlies send in a big swell.

Weather

The ria is largely sheltered from the prevailing N/NW winds, but southerlies can raise an unpleasant swell if they are strong. It is necessary in these conditions to tuck well in behind the breakwaters of the two harbours or Muros or Portosin or berth in the marinas to get shelter. Fog can also be a problem, as it is along most of this coast.

Communication

Navigation

The entrance is nearly three miles wide and entry is possible in all weather conditions. There are, however, some dangerous rocky islets and reefs extending up to two miles off the coast in the approaches from both N and S, though these should not present any problems as long as a yacht has good charts.

Berthing

Visiting yachts have several options in the ria: the marinas of Marina Muros and Portosin Marina, both situated at the ports of the same name, and anchorages off both ports and in several of the coves around the shores of the ria, depending on wind direction and swell.
