Viveda is a Lugar[3] of the municipality of Santillana del Mar (Cantabria, Spain). It borders the towns of Barreda (municipality of Torrelavega), Queveda and Camplengo (municipality of Santillana del Mar), and Hinojedo (municipality of Suances). It is located 4 km from the municipal capital, Santillana del Mar, 3 km from the nearest city, Torrelavega, and about 22 km from Santander, Spain.

In the Middle Ages there was a monastery here, dedicated to the Divine Savior of the World, created by repopulation in the 19th century. c. 8th century or c. 9th century. The Camino de Santiago del Norte crosses the town through the neighbourhood of La Barca.
The town is easily accessible, as it is less than 3 kilometres from the junction between the Cantabrian Highway and the Plateau Highway.
Until the last years of the c. 20th century, There was a palpable tendency to group together in certain areas of the town, creating two small urban centres (in La Barca and Las Escuelas), the rest being fields for cattle and scattered houses. During the period 1998-2003 the proliferation of individual dwellings reduced this appreciation, while since CE 2003 the construction of numerous housing estates has usurped the town's eminently rural character, turning it into a dormitory town for the most part and linking the small groups of dwellings together.
