Coastal town
Marín is a town and municipality in Galicia, Spain in the province of Pontevedra. It is located on the southern shore of the ria of Pontevedra, in the comarca of O Morrazo. This town is home to the Escuela Naval Militar de Oficiales (Naval Academy for Officers).
Formerly named San Xiao Ancorados by ships anchored nearby, but it is a popular distortion of "Encoirados," meaning leather tanneries, as they were in the Lameira river which flows into the urban center of the village. Father Sarmiento says the town’s name came from the Latin word mare, meaning sea, but it is now known to be derived from the name of a former possessor of this land named Marinus. Marín derives from Marini, "property of Marinus." Both references to the sea are, therefore, pure coincidences.

What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.
Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.
Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.
Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.
Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Marín's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
