Viveiro has a host of surprises for more curious visitors. Its nature, civil and religious architecture and traditions mean there’s something for everybody.

This Galician town in the province of Lugo is surrounded by some breathtaking natural areas. Its historic buildings top off a remarkable journey that’s sure to please young and old alike.

Enjoy one of our cheap trips to Viveiro and discover the oldest building in the town, Iglesia de Santa María del Campo, a church whose year of construction is unknown, but which is believed to date from the 12th century. It’s also home to other religious buildings such as the church and convent of San Francisco, dating back to the 14th century.

The town offers splendid views of the gates of the town walls of six that once existed, there now remain only three of them. The Puerta de Carlos V gate offers direct access to the old town of Viveiro, and opens onto Plaza Mayor, where you’ll find the town hall, which has a sundial on its façade.

When travelling to Viveiro, remember that as you leave the town, you’ll come across Souto da Retorta, a small protected area near River Landro. One curious fact, this place is home to the largest tree in Spain, with a perimeter of over 30 feet. You won't want to miss the islands of Ria de Viveiro, which were once inhabited and are now home to the ruins of the houses built there.

There’ll be plenty of time in your package deal to Viveiro to enjoy Galician cuisine. You can’t talk about Galicia without highlighting the local cuisine. The quintessential ingredient of Viveiro is hake, commonly found in the area and used in many recipes. Seafood, Galician-style octopus and empanadas are a must, and are sure to please even the most demanding palates.

Be sure to visit and be amazed by the important historical architecture, cuisine with something for every taste and nature that will delight any nature lover of the environment. Viveiro awaits. What are you waiting for?

Cerca de la playa
"El hotel está muy cerca de la playa. Está un poco viejito, podrían remodelar algunas estancias. El desayuno es un poco justito para el precio que se paga."

As we are British we struggled with how places stop serving food in the afternoon until 8.30pm. if you are Spanish this is nothing new but for us we like to eat around 6 or 7pm we often struggled to find anywhere open.. just had to adapt..
