Galicia, the region in the northwest corner of Spain contiguous with Portugal, is officially known as the Autonomous Community of Galicia. It is recognized as one of the historical nationalities making up the Spanish state, as legitimized by the Spanish Constitution of 1978. Although Galicia and Portugal belong to different states, there are frequent allusions to their similarities. This study compares topographic and ethnographic descriptions of Galicia and Portugal from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to understand how the integration into different states and the existence of nationalist discourses resulted in marked differences in the historical representations of these two bordering regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The author explores the 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.

Excerpt from Portugal and Galicia: With a Review of the Social and Political State of the Basque Provinces Several years have now elapsed since the narrative of my Journey through Portugal and Galicia appeared in print; still more have passed away since it was written. This narrative was originally meant to have been appended to a political treatise upon Portugal, published at a still later period; in that treatise I endeavoured to give my readers some insight into the laws of Portugal, the municipal and judicial system of that country, the tenures of property, the actual state of her trade, and the relative strength and position of the political parties which then divided the kingdom. That work referred exclusively to those deeper and drier considerations which, however fraught with interest to the politician, are comparatively little congenial to the taste of the general reader; but this narrative of my Journey through Portugal is of a lighter cast, containing some sketches of society, mixed up with personal adventures, and occasionally alluding to those peculiar habits, superstitions, and opinions upon which the political changes of the last few years can have as yet produced no sensible impression. There was One indeed who had consented to receive this tribute of filial affection. To that beloved Parent I should have offered this little work, with a full consciousness of its many imperfections, but with an earnest hope that it might shed a transient gleam of pleasure over some of those weary hours that marked the progress of declining strength. Circumstances however prevented its appearance at that time, and I subsequently dropped the intention of publishing it at all: indeed the narrative of my Journey through Portugal and Galicia lay in a dusty drawer for more than nine years; and there it would probably have remained had not events in the North of Spain inspired me with the deepest interest and induced me to resume my pen. I then determined to combine my observations on passing occurrences in the Peninsula with my old Portuguese manuscript. Stirring events indeed occurred in 1835;a struggle arose in the Basque Provinces, paralleled only by the contests of the heroic ages.
