	This Month in Celtic History - June 2005
		Known as the “land of a thousand rivers,” Galicia, along with much of central and western Iberia, was home to the Celtic-speaking Celt-Iberian people from about 800 BCE.
		The Celts in Galicia marked their presence on the landscape in the distinctive form of stone-fortified settlements called “castroes” whose warriors wore golden Celtic torcs around their necks.
		The Celts in Galicia, however, fell back upon their fortified castroes, and continued to resist the Romans.

	SEISMIX 05/2000
		West off Iberia, the nonvolcanic rifted continental margin is made up of three main structural segments: the Galicia Bank to the north, the south Iberia Abyssal Plain in the center, and the Tagus Abyssal Plain in the south.
		The Iberian margin was formed during rifing between Iberia and New Foundland, the breakup propagating northwards, occurring at about 137 Ma, 130 Ma and 114 Ma in the Tagus Abyssal Plain, Iberia Abyssal Plain and Galicia Bank area, respectivley.
		During a joint US-German seismic experiment a huge data set of combined multichannel and wide-angle lines were surveyed at the northern Iberian margin (Ewing cruise July to August 1997).

	ISE'97 - 1995 NSF Proposal
		Well-constrained plate reconstructions show that the Galicia Bank segment of the Iberia Margin rifted from the Flemish Cap segment of the Newfoundland margin and the Iberia Abyssal Plain (IAP) segment of the Iberia margin rifted from the northern Newfoundland basin segment of the Newfoundland margin (Srivastava et al., 1990).
		Prior to drilling Leg 149, the Iberia Abyssal Plain (IAP) segment was thought to be grossly similar to the GB segment.

	Ancient Scotland: The Spanish Celtic Connection
		The dolmens, standing stones and the trail of "cup and ring" designs carved on stones by the prehistoric people of Iberia make their way from Spain and Portugal and northern France to Ireland and Scotland and represent the earliest evidence of the movement of prehistoric man from Iberia to the northern islands.
		Of these ancient kingdoms, Galicia, of course, is still one of the seven recognized Celtic nations, and the word itself means "The Land of the Gaelic People." It is from Galicia that Irish origin legends claim that the Irish race sprung towards Ireland.
		These new people we called "Cruitnii" by the Irish - or the "People of the Designs," -- these people were the Picts.

	ODP SR-149 Abstracts
		Therefore, we conclude that the rift episode affecting the western Iberian Margin, from the Iberia Abyssal Plain northward, occurred over a very short interval, and/or that depositional rates were very low, so that synrift sedimentary sequences did not accumulate to produce a seismically resolvable thickness.
		The results of this study strongly suggest that rifting on the southeastern margin of the Iberia Abyssal Plain occurred at the latest before the Hauterivian, probably early in the Valanginian and after the Tithonian.
		We suggest that the synrift episode beneath the deep Galicia Margin postdates Tithonian-Berriasian shallow-water carbonates and predates Valanginian siliciclastic sediments that infill the basement topography created during rifting.

	Itineraries
		Wedged in between the roaring Atlantic and the gentle eastern sierras in Iberia’s northwest corner, Galicia is a magnificent combination of rolling, irregular countryside, 750 miles of breathtaking coastline, numerous deeply penetrating fjord-like estuaries as well as mixed forests and winding rivers.
		On the tour we explore the wild coastline, the sea an ever-present right hand companion, as well as Galicia’s mountain, valley and river systems with delightful walks in forests rich in flora and fauna.
		Surrounded by thick stands of beech and oak, sculpted by four strong river systems and modified by hundreds of years of shepherding, the ever changing limestone Picos offer a unique environment and a wide variety of walking opportunities through lunar-like high mountains, crystalline glacial lakes, lush woodlands, winding rivers, high open pastures and alpine meadows.

	Kingdoms of the Barbarians - The Suevi
		After leaving their German homelands (apparently without the Lombards), the Suevi founded a barbarian kingdom in the hostile mountains of Galicia, situated in the extreme northwestern corner of Iberia.
		The Suevi cross the Rhine at Mainz in 407 in association with the Vandals and Alans.
		These were a group of Germanic people which included the tribes of the Marcomanni and Quadi, the Hermunduri, Semnones, the Langobardes (Lombards), and the Alemanni.

	The Periphery of Francia: Spain, Britain, Eastern Europe, & Scandinavia
		When the Kingdoms of León, Castile, and Aragón, and then Navarra, came under common rule, the combination began to be called, unofficially but reasonably, "España." The battle cry of 16th century Spanish troops was "Santiago, España" (the former referring to the pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia).
		In the Middle Ages, when various kingdoms occupied Iberia, and none of them was España, they all collectively and reasonably were called the "Spains," Hispaniae.

	Caledonia: A Light in the North
		Most of western Europe is dominated by the Frankish Empire, but on the fringes exist the Northmen, Iberia, and non-Frankish Italy.

	Encyclopedia: Fourth Crusade
		When the First Crusade was preached in 1095, the Christian princes of northern Iberia had been fighting their way out of the mountains of Galicia and Asturias, the Basque Country and Navarre, with increasing success, for about a hundred years.
		While the papal representative to the crusade, Peter Cardinal Capuano, endorsed the move as necessary to prevent the crusade's complete failure, pope Innocent was alarmed at this development and wrote a letter to the crusade leadership threatening excommunication; this letter was concealed from the bulk of the army and the attack proceeded.
		The Fourth Crusade was initiated by Pope Innocent III in 1202, with the intention of invading the Holy Land through Egypt.
