Mogro between the Pas Estuary, Dunes and Culture

Coast and Nature

Mogro showcases its coastal location at Playa de Usil, which lies at the mouth of the natural Pas Estuary. The beach is 250 m long and 15 m wide. Mogro Beach is a natural beach with small dunes.

Playa de Usil is considered particularly suitable for families with children because of its facilities and low level of danger. There are playgrounds and walking areas nearby.

When planning your trip, the combination of coast and nature can be considered together with exercise and culture. For families with different interests, it may make sense to consider the main focuses separately instead of structuring every day in the same way.

Culture

The Church of San Martín in Mogro is the oldest surviving building in the municipality. The present structure may date from the late 15th or early 16th century.

The church includes an attached tower house, which may already have existed before being used as a bell tower and may have served as a residence.

The Ermita de la Virgen del Monte was frequently visited by families of sailors and fishermen; numerous objects connected with the sea bear witness to this. This shrine became the most important shrine of Honor.

You can organize cultural impressions through buildings, religious history and maritime testimonies.

Hiking

The circular route from Mogro to the Ermita de la Virgen del Monte is of moderate difficulty, 5.01 km long and takes approximately 26 minutes.

It begins next to the Church of San Martín Obispo in Mogro, follows the Camino Histórico del Norte along Calle San Martín to the CA-322, and then continues along the road to the Ermita de la Virgen del Monte.

After the Ermita de la Virgen del Monte, the route returns north to Mogro along the CA-232, the starting point. The stated distance and time details can be weighed alongside one another when planning your own day.

When comparing holiday apartments in Mogro, you can compare travel time, room category and cancellation conditions for the individual offers side by side.
