Mesía town hall

Mesía town hall (Casa do Concello de Mesía) is the seat of local government for the municipality of Mesía, in the province of A Coruña, in Galicia, in northwestern Spain. The building stands in the village of Xanceda, along the road running through the municipal centre, and serves an administrative role — this is where the mayor and the municipal council are based, and where official paperwork gets handled for anyone passing through this stretch of inland Galicia.

Where exactly is the town hall?

The address is Rúa Xanceda s/n, 15685 Mesía (A Coruña). The coordinates — 43.0802389, -8.237941 — place it well inland, roughly between the region's two major hubs: A Coruña lies about 40 km to the north, and Santiago de Compostela a similar distance to the southwest. Mesía itself has no coastline; it's a typical interior Galician municipality, made up of scattered parishes and small villages rather than a single urban centre.

How do you get there?

A car is the practical way in — Mesía sits off the main national routes, reached instead via local roads connecting it to neighbouring municipalities within A Coruña province. Anyone driving between A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela, or heading toward Sobrado dos Monxes, can take a short detour through Xanceda to see the town hall building. There's no direct rail or air link into the municipality itself — the nearest airport is in Santiago de Compostela, and the nearest train stations are in A Coruña.

When can you actually reach someone at the office?

The town hall serves residents and visitors Monday to Friday, from 07:30 to 15:00. That's a standard schedule for Spanish municipal offices, concentrated in the morning — the building closes after 15:00 and stays shut on weekends. It's worth planning ahead, especially if the matter requires a specific department.

What's worth knowing about the municipality of Mesía?

Mesía has a population of around 2,418 (1,217 men and 1,201 women), making it one of the smaller municipalities in A Coruña province. Its mayor is Mariano Iglesias Castro, of the PSdeG-PSOE. The area is rural and agricultural in character — typical of inland Galicia, with parishes, farms and small clusters of housing spread across the territory rather than a dominant town centre. The town hall building itself is a functional civic structure rather than a heritage monument, but for anyone routing through the central part of A Coruña province it works as a landmark and a place to pick up local information.
