INTRODUCCIÓN El análisis económico del litoral siempre ha sido una cuestión de vital importancia para Galicia, al contar con un espacio lleno de recursos naturales que deben ser protegidos y, al mismo tiempo, aprovechados para el desarrollo económico dentro de un marco de crecimiento sostenible. El 59% de la población gallega reside en la costa gallega, en una extensión inferior al 10% del territorio de la comunidad autónoma. Tanto en términos de PIB per capita como en renta familiar disponible las comarcas del litoral presentan mejores indicadores que el resto de Galicia, lo cual explica su mayor grado de desarrollo económico y bienestar. Sin embargo, y como se demostrará a continuación, la heterogeneidad es una de las notas más destacables de la realidad económica de los municipios que conforman la costa gallega.

  • Dialectal, Historical and Sociolinguistic Aspects of Galician Intonation1
    Dialectologia. Special issue, VI (2016), 147-169. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 22 March 2016. Accepted 24 May 2016. DIALECTAL, HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF GALICIAN INTONATION1 Elisa FERNÁNDEZ REI Instituto da Lingua Galega - Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Abstract Geoprosodic data are useful for studying language cHange and developing HypotHeses about tHe diachrony of intonation. In the case of Galician, it is particularly interesting to study varieties of Galician and Portuguese wHicH sHare a common origin but are separated by a long-standing political border. Work to date Has concluded tHat some of tHese intonation patterns present a prosodic continuum, but has also identified a large part of the Galician linguistic area where a widespread pattern is found that is unrelated to Portuguese. An approacH to the study of dialectology and linguistic cHange will be proposed which supplements traditional geoprosodic studies with sociolinguistic concepts such as contact between languages and language varieties. THis article will address Questions concerning interaction between geoprosodic variation and contact among languages and language varieties for tHe purpose of detecting ongoing prosodic change and describing prosodic convergence processes that affect coexisting language varieties in Galicia. Keywords Galician intonation, dialectology, linguistic cHange, language contact 1 This study was conducted tHanks to funding from tHe researcH projects Cambio linGüístico en GalleGo (FFI2012-33845) and Contacto y cambio linGüístico en GalleGo (FFI2015-65208-P), financed by the SpanisH Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, and from the Xunta de Galicia and the European Union (under tHe grant GRC2013/40). 147 E. FERNÁNDEZ REI ASPECTOS DIALECTALES, HISTÓRICOS Y SOCIOLINGÜÍSTICOS DE LA ENTONACIÓN GALLEGA Resumen Los datos geoprosódicos son muy valiosos para el estudio del cambio lingüístico y para la elaboración de Hipótesis sobre la diacronía de la entonación.

  • Perspectiva Histórica Del Conocimiento Geológico De Las Rías Gallegas
    Journal of Iberian Geology ISSN: 0378-102X 2000, vol. 26, 21-44 Perspectiva histórica del conocimiento geológico de las rías gallegas. An historical review of the geological studies of the Galician rias. G. MÉNDEZ y D. REY Departamento de Xeociencias Mariñas e Ordenación do Territorio. Universidade de Vigo, 36200 Vigo. RESUMEN La compleja problemática referente a la evolución geológica de las rías gallegas ha generado una interesante producción científica cuyo conocimiento previo es importante para abordar cualquier estudio referente a la geología de las rías o costa gallegas. Su evolución muestra en buena medida el progreso de la disciplina geológica y la introducción progresiva de conceptos y teorías a tra- vés de las personas e instituciones entorno a las que se realizaron las investiga- ciones y el contexto histórico. Desde la adopción del término ría propuesto por Von Richthofen en 1886 para expresar un tipo de costa caracterizada por la existencia de un valle ocupado por el mar, diversos autores han tratado de ex- plicar su evolución geológica. En este sentido se han podido establecer dos fa- ses. La primera, que se extiende hasta la primera mitad del s. XX, se caracteri- za por la contribución de geógrafos extranjeros. Por el contrario, durante la segunda etapa, estas investigaciones se realizan inicialmente bajo los auspicios del Laboratorio Xeolóxico de Laxe (A Coruña), y con posterioridad desde las universidades gallegas. Palabras clave: rías, historia de la ciencia, Galicia, costa. ABSTRACT The complex problem of the origin of the Galician rias has generated an in- teresting scientific discussion which is important to know when approaching their study.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Over the last decades several studies have been conducted on upwelling along the Galician coast that have significantly improved the knowledge of this process. These investigations showed that upwelling along this coast is a frequent phenomenon during the spring and summer months, pumping colder Eastern North Atlantic Central Water into the rias. Nevertheless, several upwelling events in autumn and winter have been characterized in the Galician rias, indicating that the upwelling process along the Galician coast is not a phenomenon restricted to spring and summer.

    Visit us 12 Recommended Camino de Santiago Tours 2021 Holy Year by EATour Specialist / What Camino de Santiago Tour should I do? Here we will recommend some Camino de Santiago Tours to consider for your next trip. Read More What is the Jacobean Year? Whenever St James´s day (25th July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral announces it a Holy or Jubilee Year (Xacobeo in the Galician Language). This happens with a regular cadence of 6-5-6-11 years (The last Holy Year was 2010). Next year will be a special year for the city of Santiago de Compostela and the St James Way since they will be celebrating the Holy Year 2021 (Xacobeo). The celebration of each Holy Year grants indulgence to all those faithful who voluntarily meet the following conditions: Visit the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, in Galicia, Spain. Pray regularly. It is also highly recommended to attend the Holy Mass in / Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Receive the sacraments of penance and communion in the fifteen days prior to or after visiting the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Furthermore, people usually access the cathedral through the Holy Door which only opens on this occasion. If you are lucky during mass at the cathedral the priest (takes quite a few!) will swing on occasion the "Botafumeiro" (An XXL incense burner). It swings up high from nave to nave and weights about 120 pounds! This was to clean the smell in the air since there are so many pilgrims attending the mass. https://youtu.be/MYqfQXPGemA The Camino de Santiago walk is a great way to enjoy / the outdoors following along the ancient Pilgrimage way passing through quaint historic villages, green landscapes, etc..
