Mos is a municipality in Galicia, Spain in the province of Pontevedra and next to Vigo.

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).
