Where is Vilarmaior located?

Vilarmaior belongs to the comarca (district) of Betanzos, in the eastern part of the historical Mariñas area within the province of A Coruña. The municipality covers 30.35 km² and is home to roughly 1,234 people (629 men and 605 women), spread across several small settlements rather than concentrated in one town centre. The landscape is typical of inland Galicia — rolling hills, scattered hamlets, farmland and patches of woodland.

What is the town hall building for?

The town hall (Concello de Vilarmaior in Galician) houses the mayor's office and the municipal council, and is the point of contact for residents on matters such as local registration, municipal taxes, permits and general administrative queries. The building's address is Lugar A Armada, nº 1, 15637 Vilarmaior. The current mayor is Carlos Vázquez Quintián.

Is Vilarmaior worth a stop for visitors?

Vilarmaior isn't a destination built around a checklist of sights, but for anyone travelling through the interior of A Coruña province — between Betanzos and the coast — it functions as a useful landmark. The town hall itself, as the administrative centre of the municipality, is often the clearest reference point when routing through the surrounding villages and farmland of the Mariñas district. The area retains the unhurried character of a traditional Galician rural municipality, with little tourist traffic, which for some travellers is precisely the appeal.

How do you get to Vilarmaior?

The municipality lies inland from the A Coruña coast, within reasonable driving distance of Betanzos, the main town of the district and a practical base for exploring further. The town hall's coordinates are 43.3548, -8.1301, which can be entered directly into GPS navigation. Given the rural setting, arriving by car is the most practical option, as public transport links in this part of the province are limited.
