According to Portuguese, Galician, and Asturian mythology, the Mouros or Moiros are a race of supernatural beings which have inhabited the lands of Galicia, Asturias and Portugal since the beginning of time.
For unknown reasons they were forced to take refuge under the earth, and now they are usually seen by people in the surroundings of castros and long barrows. The Mouros work with gold, silver and gemstones with which they make up enormous treasures that are protected by cuélebres.
