Galicia Irredenta
("Unredeemed Galicia") or ("Outer" or "External Galicia"), also spelled as and and also known as or ("Eastern Strip"), is a term used for all Galician-speaking territories located outside of Galicia. These are all located in Spain, in either Asturias or Castile and León. These territories are sometimes divided into three subregions: El Bierzo ( in Galician), Eo-Navia ( in Galician) and As Portelas (or Upper Sanabria, or in Galician). There have been several attempts from these territories to join Galicia. An example is Porto de Sanabria, a small village where, in 2018, a vote was organized to join to the region due to the lack of response from the government of Castile and León to requests from locals to fix a road. 202 people voted in favor, 19 against and 6 did a blank vote. However, this vote did not intend any official change and was only made to know the opinion of the inhabitants. Another example was that of El Bierzo, a ''comarca'' where more people prefer ...
