Municipalities

It is composed of 11 municipalities, two of which are considered cities (Ferrol and Narón).

Six municipalities (Ferrol, Ares, Fene, Mugardos, Narón and Neda) provide the urban division of the comarca as they form the urban area located around Ferrol Bay. These towns are very dependent on Ferrol and Narón and are closely connected between themselves.

The more rural zone to the east and north consists of Valdoviño, Moeche, Somozas and San Sadurniño municipalities. Finally the area of Cedeira, which forms a small zone by itself along the north coast, has much in common with the Ortegal Comarca to its east.
