Cedeira is a municipality in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is situated in the northern coast of the Rías Altas. Cedeira has a population of 7,412 inhabitants (INE, 2010).

Nearby is the site of Santo André (or San Andres), a pre-Christian pilgrimage site, with a holy well. 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:

Iten mando yr por min en romaria yr per min a Santo Andre of Teixido, porque Ilo tenno prometudo, tenno, et que le ponnan enno seu altar hua candea commo he hua muller de meu estado.

The cliffs of San Andres are described as the highest in Europe.
