Cedeira is a municipality in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain.

Most of the fish, mainly tuna, is canned and stored in warehouses locally for later distribution to different parts of Spain and Europe.

Farming, horse breeding and timber production, together with services are the main economic activities.

Parts of the chapel at San Andres dates from the 12th century, although most of the structure was designed by Miguel Lopez de la Peña and built in 1789.

The earliest reference to Christian pilgrimage there comes from a 1391 manuscript, in which a woman from nearby Viveiro says: The cliffs of San Andres are described as the highest in Europe.
