Galicia is one of the Celtic lands and poetry occupies a significant place in its culture.We hope you enjoy this brief look at an ancient land, one full of generous people and natural splendours, and agree that there is indeed a lot of good in a life in Galicia.The Good Life in Galicia 2018 is available in paperback and e-book.
