This book presents research concerning the effects of the Camino to Finisterre on the daily lives of the populations who live along the route, and the heritagization processes that exploitation of the Camino for tourism purposes involves.

A sinalización de un penalti na final da Copa do Rei, que se xoga no Bernabeu entre o Real Madrid e o FC Barcelona, é o punto de partida dunha novela, no que o tempo se detén e en pouco máis de cinco minutos reais transcorre a historia de Francisco Rodríguez Crespo e do seu fillo, Fuco, o encargado de deter o penalti que vai lanzar Messi.

This is the first translation of her fiction, and it brings to English-speaking readers a spirit that is comparable to George Sand, Madame de Staël, and the Brontës.
