Muros de Nalón (Asturian: Muros) is a small coastal municipality in the Spanish province of Asturias, with an area of 8.09 square kilometers. It is bounded to the north by the Bay of Biscay, to the east by the river Nalón, to the south by Pravia and the west by Cudillero. The eucalyptus tree is the town tree and occupies great parts of the slopes down to the coast.
There are two parishes (administrative divisions): Muros de Nalón (which is divided in five villages: Ea, Pumariega, Muros, Reborio and Villar) and San Esteban de Pravia.
Two important buildings in the municipality are the Palace of Valdecarzana and Vallehermoso and the Church of Santa María. It is possible to watch a panoramical view of the Asturian coast from the Mirador del Espíritu Santo.
