History

Negueira de Muñiz was part of the Burón Jurisdiction, belonging to the Counts of Altamira, joining the municipality of A Fonsagrada in 1833, from which emancipation was achieved in 1928, the year since Negueira has been named in honor of José Antonio Muñiz Álvarez and in which we request to be called Negueira de Muñiz, the change being approved by the Royal Order of December 2, 1929.

Our most recent history is linked to the construction of the Grandas de Salime Reservoir, the third reservoir on the Navia River, which in its day placed it as the largest dam in Spain and which was officially inaugurated on August 24, 1955. The reservoir changed a good part of the appearance of Negueira and its surroundings, giving way at the same time to spectacular views that today make our municipality a landscape, heritage, gastronomic and cultural paradise worthy of admiration.
