Galicia, the region in the northwest corner of Spain that is
continguous with northern Portugal, is known officially as the
Autonomous Community of Galicia. It is recognized as one of the
historical nationalities that makes up the Spanish state, as
legitimized by the Spanish Constitution of 1978. This study
compares the topographic and ethnographic descriptions produced
with respect to Galicia and Portugal during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries in order to understand how the integration in
different states and the existence of a specific nationalist
discourse marked differences in the ways that two bordering regions
in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula have been represented.
Although Galicia and Portugal each belong to different states,
their similarities are frequently alluded to. The author explores
the presence and role of the imagination in creating a sense, over
the last century and a half, of the national being and becoming of
these two related peoples.
