A Veíga is located 150 km from Ourense. The municipality has a population of 1,273 (2005), and a relatively low and decreasing population density (4.37 people/km²).

It is a mountainous area, including the Pena Trevinca, the tallest peak in Galicia at 2124 m. There are 29 ''parroquias'' (parishes).

The Prada Reservoir (''encoro de Prada'') lies in the province. It takes water from the river Xares, a tributary to the river Bibey. The dam was constructed in 1958 and submerged the town of Alberguería on May 9, 1959. Provided by Wikipedia
