Narón (43°32?47.55?N, 8°08?53.42W) is a borough council in Ferrolterra in the Province of A Coruña in north-western Spain. Juan Gato is the current mayor. Around 35,000 people live in the area. Geographically the town is very close to the Atlantic Ocean. Narón has eight parroquias which are Narón, San Xiao, Castro, O Val, Trasancos, Sedes, Pedroso and Doso. As Telleiras is one of the secondary schools in the town. Ferrol is 5km away. A Coruña is 54km away and Santiago de Compostela is 95km away. The nearest airports to the town are situated in A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela. Narón does have a train station but to reach Madrid you have to change at Ferrol.
The weather is mild all the year around almost as if we were talking about one only season, and that is very different from what happens in other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Like the rest of Galicia, it is rainy and beautifully green. Still, the summers tend to be a bit dryer than the winters. Umbrellas are so much a part of Galician way of life that there is usually a bin to place your umbrella in when you enter a shop, bar or somewhere similar.
If Narón had no entertainment whatsoever it's proximity to Ferrol would not pose problems for those looking for it. Narón is one of the best equipped towns in Galicia for entertainment. It boasts a theatre, a 16 lane bowling alley and a 12 screen cinema within the Centro Commercial Odeón, one of the two shopping centres of the town. The centre also has 3 discotecas Carretera de Castilla, Carretera de Castro and the newest establishment which goes by the name of A Gándara.
Narón is well equipped with educational facilities for the young people of the town. There are two State Infant Schools (i.e.: Escuelas Infantiles), two State Secondary Schools (i.e.: Institutos de Enseñanza Secundaria) and fourteen private schools (i.e.: Colegios Privados).
Both Castilian (Spanish) and Gallego are spoken in this area although statistics on the use and comprehension of both is not known at present. Tourists and travellers arriving to this area will most probably notice that there isn't much information or official notices either in English or in Spanish; most information and leaflets provided will be in local Galician. School children are taught in the Galician language, although a large majority speak Castilian as their first language.
