Ria de Viveiro
| |
| |
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 canalised 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 canalized 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.

Tourism
Celeiro is a rather basic fishing village, but no less interesting for that since it is largely untouched by tourism. Viveiro has few tourist attractions, but there is a good bracing walk up to the top of the nearby San Roque mountain, with superb views from the top. There are several stone picnic tables for those who want a picnic with a view.
