Cedeira

Cedeira sits on Galicia's northern coast with a natural harbor that supports fishing operations and regional trade. The town serves as an administrative center and retains strong maritime traditions that shape daily life.

The settlement grew from an ancient fishing community into a formal administrative area while keeping its seafaring roots strong. Generations of families have maintained fishing traditions that continue to define the place.

The town's celebrations revolve around seafood cooking, traditional net-making, and Galician music that visitors can experience throughout the year.

The town is well connected by bus to nearby cities and requires minimal planning for arrival without a car. Visitors will find basic services and shops typical of a working fishing community.

The Cooperativa de Armadores represents fishing boat owners working together to maintain sustainable practices in local waters. This cooperative model shows how fishers share resources and preserve their livelihoods together.
