Meaño

Village · Meaño, Salnés, Pontevedra

Meaño is a concello of around 5,200 inhabitants situated at the heart of the Pontevedra district of Salnés, with seven parishes spread across 28 square kilometres. A mountain ridge, a southwestern extension of the Castrove, runs through the east of the territory without exceeding 400 metres in altitude, while to the west a fertile plain opens out, given over to intensive farming, with greenhouses and vineyards of albariño and caíño, as well as kiwi. Dena, the most populous parish, with close to half the municipality's inhabitants, is the only one that looks out onto the ria of Arousa. The da Chanca river runs through the territory, rising at the springs of Fontefría and Montemaior. Agriculture remains Meaño's main economic activity.
