History
In 1927 the Sport Club Turista was founded, being renamed the Club Turista nine years later. In 1988 a merge was predicted with Gran Peña FC, but finally the Turista was absorbed by Celta de Vigo, being named the Celta Turista.
In its first season of professional football, Celta Turista played in the Preferente Autonómica, finishing in first place with 57 points. It first reached the third division in 1992–93, being relegated the following campaign; in 1996, in order to comply with the new Royal Spanish Football Federation regulations, the club changed its denomination to the Celta de Vigo B. In the 1996–97 season the club finished in 19th place in Segunda División B and relegated back to the fourth division.[2]
In the 2018–19 season Celta B was close to relegation, but saved its place in Segunda División B. The club finished 16th among 20 teams.[3]
