  • Galician Cuisine – Roast Sardines with Boiled Potatoes
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Indian Food, Chinese Food but when you refer to Spain or to put it possibly more accurately food and recipes that originate from the Country of Spain it is not that straightforward.

    The relatively recent unification of Spain as a single political entity is really the main driving force that lies behind this theory as the country is an amalgamation of the various autonomous regions that lie within it. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Discovering Undiscovered Spain and Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry.

    With regards to Galicia you have a region where you have a rugged coastline with extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountainous regions provide a completely different experience for the visitor.
  • A Taste of Galicia - Octopus a Feira
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.

  • Welcome to Historic London

  • Galicia within the Spain of Today

  • Galicia and its Connections to the Greater Celtic Community Worldwide.
    They say there is nothing worse than a homesick Celt a long way from home or a bunch of Celts on a mission if they feel that culture is under threat.

    I can talk about those issues above with a degree of the impunity being a fully paid up “Celt” myself being half welsh and half Scottish.
  • A whistle-stop Guide to the Way of St James
    The patron saint of Spain, St James, is one of the most revered figures in Spain. Probably the most revered male figure, coming in second behind Mary and if truth be known probably a good way ahead of Christ.

    For those amongst us who are possibly not biblical scholars then St. James was the son of Zebedee. St James was also a disciple and a fisherman who gave up his fishing nets to follow Christ. His mother was Salome and his brother was the Apostle John. With me so far?
