Abstract

The paper focuses on Galicia in northwestern Spain, whose position within the Celtic world has long been the subject of contention. Many scholars have described the region's strong Celtic heritage, but the institutions of pan-Celticism have expressed what has often amounted to overt hostility to Galicia's claim to be a Celtic nation. Historical, linguistic, archaeological, socio-cultural and religious sources of evidence are considered in this study in an attempt to support Galicia's claims to membership in the league of Celtic nations.
