footnotes =Mos is a municipality in Galicia,
Spain in the province of Pontevedra and next toVigo .The
Louro River floods through Mos from North to South, making the municipality a valley region.It lacks an urban nucleus and its inhabitants live all across the municipality without apparent order. Familiar farms and vineyards are very common.
Mos has a strong industry, and because of its geographical position between
Vigo and the Portuguese border, it is crossed by many transport infrastructures. Recently, the announcement of the construction of a high-speed railway track and a new highway has resulted in numerous demonstrations and protests.Since 2003 the municipality is governed by a coalition of socialists (
PSdeG ) and nationalists (BNG ).
