Not far
from A'Fraga Rural we can find the river-bed of Río da Fraga,
one of the most plentiful rivers in Moaña. Through the
years it has been essential for the economy and subsistence of
the people living around, for apart from guaranteeing the irrigation
of the land in the banks, the strength of its water provided
the numerous mills placed along the river with the energy needed
to grind the corn and so produce the 
flour
to make bread. These mills have been recently recovered after
restoring them conscientiously and thus creating a trekking route
known as Río da
Fraga route which extends along
Río da Fraga making a tour more than attractive not only
for those who love nature but also for the curious minds about
history and ethnology.

Viewpoint of a Fraga
From the viewpoint of A Fraga we can admire, without a doubt, one of the best sights Ría de Vigo can offer. Its privileged situation, one of the highest places in Moaña, allows us to have a landscape that extends along the green valley of Río da Fraga until it gets to Xunqueira beach, where the river changes into Río dos Ladróns. Beyond we can see the sea, and Vigo, whose hills prevent us to see anything else. When the night falls we can see Vigo at its best. The lights of the city reflecting on the sea makes a wonderful snapshot for those who love photography.
A Xunqueira Beach
Between the centre of Moaña and Samertolameu island, A Xunqueira beach is the perfect place to enjoy a summer day with the family due to the shallowness of its waters and the gentle transition of the tides that guarantee the security of the youngest. We should not forget, of course, the strange sight the numerous sandbanks offer after the low tide.
San Martiño Church(12th century)
This church, located in the parish with the same name, is one of the most important Romanic monuments in Galicia. Its impressive façade and its wonderful belfry are examples that confirm what is stated above. We have to mention the celebration held between the tenth and the twelfth of November when the neighbours seize the opportunity to taste the newly made wine along with chestnuts at the different furanchos, little taverns opened for the occasion around the church.
