My father's family is originally from Galicia, and they have always referred to themselves as Celts. Some of his family returned there after the Cuban revolution and everyone in the village where they live state emphatically that they're all Celtic. My father has always felt galled that Castro is Galician and he thinks "that family was obviously infected with Moor-tainted Andulusian blood."

CG, Galicia is VERY celtic (Galician food, art,& especially their architecture are dead giveaways). Castro however is definitely not Gallician. He is as I recall descended from Portuguese Jews (as was Henri Castro who founded Castroville Texas and much of the western Hill Country in TX)
