Viveiro, Coastal municipality in northern Lugo Province, Spain
Located along the Cantabrian Sea, Viveiro features three main gates from its medieval walls: Vila, Valado, and Castelo da Ponte, forming the town center.
The municipality contains numerous religious structures dating from medieval times, including the monastery of Concepcion and multiple Romanesque churches like San Pedro and Santa María.
The Carnival of Viveiro stands as the oldest celebration in Galicia, with four days of festivities leading up to the Lenten season.
During summer months, the population triples as visitors arrive to experience the coastal region, beaches, and traditional festivals throughout the season.
The Rapa das Bestas festival occurs on July's first Sunday, continuing an ancient tradition where local residents gather to brand horses and cut their manes.
