As Maus is a small village in Muíños that retains the character of the traditional rural landscape of the Baixa Limia. Around it, meadows, small fields, stone walls and woodlands reveal a landscape shaped over generations by farming, livestock rearing and the use of forest resources.
Its location near the Salas Reservoir provides a gateway to a landscape of outstanding natural and cultural richness. Dolmens, mámoas and other archaeological remains bear witness to human presence in these lands for more than five thousand years, linking As Maus with the exceptional megalithic heritage of the Salas valley.
The village is also a hub for outdoor activities. It is home to the Aviva Center, a visitor centre for the Serra do Xurés Mountain Bike Centre, from where mountain bikers can access a variety of routes and explore the landscapes of Muíños and the Xurés on two wheels.
