Mos is a municipality in the province of Pontevedra in Galicia, Spain. Mos is adjacent to Vigo.

There is no significant urban nucleus and most of the population live scattered across the municipality. Family-owned farms and vineyards are very common.

Weather

The key feature of the climate of Mos is the existence of two very different microclimates, a mountain and a valley, represented near Comber and O Porriño, respectively. The average temperature is 14.05 °C.

Education

[edit]

Mos has a high school, the IES de Mos.

Mos is home to the O Castro British School, which starts from nursery through to KS4.[2]

Economy

[edit]

Mos has a strong industry,[citation needed] and because of its geographical position between Vigo and the Portuguese border, it is crossed by many transport infrastructures. Recently,[when?] the announcement of the construction of a high-speed railway track and a new highway has resulted in numerous demonstrations and protests.

Government

[edit]

Since December 2008, the municipality has been governed by Nidia Arévalo, former People's Party councilor after a vote of no confidence.

Communications

Four major roads cross southern Galicia Mos: the N-550 (Tui - A Coruña), AP-9 (Atlantic Highway), the A-52 (Vigo, Ourense) and A-55 (Vigo-Portugal).
