The Good Life in Galicia 2017

Galicia is a fascinating part of Green Spain, the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and sits in the north western most part, surrounded on two sides by the sea, and on a third by Portugal.This short anthology contains writings about Galicia, including several pieces about the coastal parts of Galicia, unlike last years anthology which had writings about the Ribeira Sacra - the sacred riverbank. Included are stories and articles about its people and its landscape, its myths and legends, its history and the mystery of the huerta, or vegetable garden.This year we introduced a Poetry section in the competition this book is based on, and poetry features strongly in this years anthology. 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.Available in paperback and e-book.
