PORT OF CELEIRO |
| Description | Small town separated from Viveiro by its port. There is a small beach next to the little picturesque fisher folk’s houses.
Currently this is one of the most important ports on the Cantabrian coast. It has a fishing fleet that operates all over the globe, particularly in the North Atlantic, the Grand Sole fleet, which mainly catches hake using traditional methods. This type of hake “pescada de pincho de Celeiro” bears the “Galicia Calidade” label, indicating a quality product and is the first fisheries product to attain this award.
