The most famous Galician around here is Luis Gonzalez. Hey, Luis, maybe you and Fidel are related. :)

No, I'm not related to Fidel in any way, shape, or form...but this guy is.

The Galician (Gallego) dialect is almost identical to Portuguese. When I visited Santiago de Compostela, I was able, having just spent a year studying Portuguese, to make myself understood to the locals.
