Founded in 1927, it is the reserve team of Celta de Vigo and currently plays in Segunda División B – Group 1, holding home games at Municipal de Barreiro, with a 4,500-seat capacity.
In 1927 Sport Club Turista was founded, being renamed Club Turista nine years later. In 1988 a merge was predicted with Gran Peña FC, but finally Turista was absorbed by Celta de Vigo, being named Celta Turista; Gran Peña continued competing in the following decades as an independent club.
In its first season of professional football, Celta Turista played in Preferente Autonómica, finishing in first position with 57 points. It first reached the third division in 1992–93, being relegated the following campaign; in 1996, in order to comply with new Royal Spanish Football Federation regulations, the club changed its denomination to Celta de Vigo B.
