Port of Celeiro, Commercial fishing port in Viveiro, Spain
The Port of Celeiro is a harbor with docking facilities that accommodates fishing vessels and recreational boats along the Galician coast. The infrastructure includes multiple areas designed to serve both commercial operations and leisure activities.
In March 1994, shipowners at Celeiro formed a Sociedad Anónima to jointly manage the fishing port's business affairs. The company grew out of the Santiago Apóstol association, a fishermen's community founded in 1923, and was prompted by Law 8/93 of 1993. Its aim was to professionalise the fishing economy.
The port is where fishing families continue to work the waters as they have for generations, making it a living center of maritime tradition. Visitors see the daily routines of working fishermen and the importance of the sea to local life.
The harbor is directly on the coast and easily accessible, with marked pathways and designated areas for visitors. It is an active working port, so some areas may be restricted for operational reasons.
The heliport on the port's edge, Helipuerto Costa Norte (ICAO code LEPV), was built in the late 1980s and a decade later modernised and enlarged to 4,000 square metres. It is the base of the Guardacostas de Galicia helicopter nicknamed "Pesca 2".
