@MarticaSpain No está probada la teoría de que los "celtiberos" eran celtas, pero tampoco lo contrario. Mantengamos una mente abierta a todas las posibilidades dentro de lo historicamente creíble. Por mi parte, como irlandés residente en Cataluña, siempre me han impresionado los parecidos entre la cultura irlandesa y la tradición mas profunda de los catalanes rurales.

Finally! After 25 rambling incoherent minutes of drivel about Scotch-Irish, Scots-Irish and all that baloney, we're finally going to get on to the topic at hand.

Mr Flannery, you are a man of immense knowledge and learning, but a terrible speaker. You should try to focus your remarks on a theme and not try to jam all your diverse knowledge about everything into each and every sentence.

Juango, no busques donde no hay. Eso son los gallegos, no los catalanes. Lo que tu comentas será algo puntual.

WHO SAID IT IS JUST THE NORTHWEST COAST OF SPAIN THAT WAS CELT? A stone tablet has been found in a little village near Barcelona written on characters and on a language almost identical to ancient Irish. The Catalonian culture has many roots back in the old celtic culture. We has druids, celtic festivals, music instruments, including the pipes, tunes, expressions, characteristics. Do not dare to call us anything but celtic-mediterranians!
