Aranga is a municipality belonging to the comarca of Betanzos in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain in the province of A Coruña with an area of 120.49 km2 (46.52 mi2) and a population of 1799 inhabitants (INE, 2024).
== Toponym == The origin of the place name "Aranga" derives, according to all studies, from the pre-Indo-European form "ara-". This particle defines a relief characterized by a valley enclosed by a river course. Without a doubt, it refers to the valley formed by the Mandeo river as it passes through the parish of San Paio de Aranga.
