== Geography == Situated on the banks of the Tambre River, the town of Negreira occupies a strategic position between the ancient per loca marítima road, which from Grandimirum (Brandomil) led to Aquis Celenis (Caldas de Reis), and the Tambre River route, which connects the central regions of Galicia with the coastal areas of Noia. Located in the Barcala River valley, it is now the commercial center of a region that maintains the town with a positive demographic movement.
