Valdoviño is a municipality in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is located in the comarca of Ferrol. Valdoviño has a population of 6,926 inhabitants (INE, 2011).

Origins

En el ámbito de la toponimia también circulan muchos bulos, uno de ellos es el que atribuye el origen del nombre Valdoviño a "valle de Aviño", lugar y arroyo de la zona, si bien es cierto que Aviño es una zona de Valdoviño, el arroyo de tal nombre parece difícil de localizar. También es común la creencia que asimila Valdoviño a Valle del Vino, si bien, parece ser que jamás se cultivó vino en cantidades destacables. ​

History

Las playas del término municipal de Valdoviño son muy populares por su paisaje natural y entre los aficionados al surf. Entre ellas, destacan el arenal de Frouxeira, de unos 3,5 km de longitud, y la playa de Pantín, en donde anualmente cada mes de septiembre se celebra el Pantín Classic,​ campeonato internacional de surf que comenzó su andadura en 1988.

La laguna de A Frouxeira es un destacado ecosistema de gran valor ornitológico por ser lugar de descanso de aves migratorias y de cría de algunas especies de aves.
