Día das Letras Galegas

Today is Galician Literature Day and we celebrate the history and culture of Galicia through its language and literature. It was first celebrated on 17th May 1963 to commemorate the centenary of Cantares Galegos by Rosalía de Castro. Since then every year on this date Día das Letras Galegas is celebrated and dedicated to a different Galician writer or poet.

This year it is the turn of Uxío Novoneyra, a poet and children’s book writer from Lugo, who died in 1999. Here is a beautiful video dedicated to him with images of O Courel, where he was from.
