How Many Celtic Nations Are There?
The established six Celtic Nations are Ireland, Cornwall, Isle of Mann, Brittany, Scotland and Wales. However for centuries Celts spread beyond Northern Europe, with many countries today claiming some Celtic influence. Yet only one place truly considers themselves ‘one’ with their Celtic heritage: Galicia, Spain. It’s an area heavily influenced by Celtic culture, particularly the ancient region of Gallaecia (the modern region of Galicia and Braga, Viana do Castelo, Douro, Porto, and Bragança in Portugal) and the Asturian region (Asturias, León, Zamora in Spain). While many in this region of Spain consider themselves Celts, there are plenty who disagree.
No Celtic language survived here (after the extinction of Iberian Celtic languages in Roman times), which is considered the litmus test. The area also holds a vary small minority of Celts when compared to even the smallest of the six nations. But it’s hard to focus on these, knowing how music, dance, art, history and folklore from Galicia often compares to other Celtic nations, Brittany especially (as like Galicia it remains a part of a another country and not located with the northern islands). Largely, people consider there to be only six official nations, yet there will always remain those who say there are seven. What are your thoughts?

Spending our time appreciating some of the scenery a bit closer to home. We came back from our trip with a renewed impulse to explore the outdoors whenever we can, starting with back on the Isle of Man - familiar places but in a new...light.☀️

The octopus is slightly spicy and it's usually served in a wooden plate. In this case it's also served in a porcelain plate with Celtic symbolism by @sargadelos_official
In words of the BBC, "Galicia, the seventh original Celtic nation, is an autonomous region on Spain’s rugged northwestern coast. Home to the Galician language, ancient relics, pagan myths and a vibrant, living history unlike anywhere else in the world" ❤ Also our language is closely related to Portuguese and our medieval literature is the same as old Portuguese and old Galician are the same language.
The food in other plates is stingray stew, scallops, rump cap, knives to the plate, or grilled sirloin steak.
So, please stop asking me about Catalonia and and start asking me about my region instead #galiciacalidade

I think this is Beckwith's Mine above Foxdale. I saw the early evening spring mist beginning to cover the hillside and raced to the location. The mine chimney in the photograph was complete a few years ago but has sadly recently collapsed.

Photo credit to • @jamesbrewphoto The old Tholtan ruins of Craigmooar are a fascinating and atmospheric photography location. Buried deep in the heart of a forest in the Manx hills, these ruins feel like entering a lost world. A beautiful spot providing a tiny glimpse into how life used to be! .
