From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porto do Son is a municipality of Spain in the Province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia. Porto do Son is in fact a collection of coastal towns and villages in the “ria de Muros e Noia” and as such is not just a town itself, but a municipality encompassing other towns including Portosín. The area is around 16 miles by 4 miles and has many beaches along with some famous Celtic ruins, the castro (i.e., "hill fort") called the "Castro de Baroña".
[edit] Castro de Baroña
Just south of the fishing village of "Porto do Son" there are the 2000-year old ruins of a Celtic fort at "Castro de Baroña". These ruins were only rediscovered in 1933 and are protected as a Spanish "Artistic Heritage" site. Local legend states that any person who sees the image or shape of a lion's head in the Castro de Baroña rock formations will be chosen to join the rebirth of the Celtic Clan of Baroña.
