The Ria de Viveiro is situated on the coast of [[NW Spain]] around 25 miles WNW of the [[Ria de Ribadeo]] and about 35 miles E of the [[Ria de Cedeira]].  The ria is little more than a mile-wide bay with a canalise river, the Rio de Viveiro, flowing into it.  The picturesque fishing harbour of Celeiro lies at the SE corner of the ria and just under a mile up the canalised river from Celeiro is the town of Viveiro and its small marina.  A visiting yacht can either anchor in the harbour of Celeiro or, with care,  navigate up the river to the marina at Viveiro.  Shelter in Celeiro is good, although strong N winds can cause some swell; shelter in Viveiro is excellent.

The Ria de Viveiro is situated on the coast of NW Spain around 25 miles WNW of the Ria de Ribadeo and about 35 miles E of the Ria de Cedeira. The ria is little more than a mile-wide bay with a canalise river, the Rio de Viveiro, flowing into it. The picturesque fishing harbour of Celeiro lies at the SE corner of the ria and just under a mile up the canalised river from Celeiro is the town of Viveiro and its small marina. A visiting yacht can either anchor in the harbour of Celeiro or, with care, navigate up the river to the marina at Viveiro. Shelter in Celeiro is good, although strong N winds can cause some swell; shelter in Viveiro is excellent.
