Dear Shariff, Thanks for a wonderful resource. My introduction to Castelao and the context of Cousas/Things may be of some use for general background to 20th Century Galician culture: 'Introduction', Alfonso Rodríguez Castelao. Things (Aberystwyth: Planet, 2001), i - xii. As may be: 'Requiem for a Galician nationalist: Castelao and the context of Things', Planet 147, June 2001, 45 - 46. Finally, some travelogues written by English writers: Annette B Meakin's Galicia: The Switzerland of Spain and Nina Epton's Grapes and Granite Also George Borrow's The Bible in Spain for sections on Galicia.
