The Galician Night Watching — Short Piece
The "night watch" in Galicia isn't just about security; it's a centuries-old dance between the living and the spirit world. In this mist-shrouded corner of northwest Spain, the night feels heavier, more alive, and—for those who know where to look—far more revealing than the day. The Spectral Watch: La Santa Compaña
According to legend, a procession of souls (the Santa Compaña ) wanders the woods at night. While purely mythical, this belief has kept locals from building bright, intrusive streetlights in rural areas for centuries. Fear of the dark preserved the dark sky.
