Galicia had a Celtic population during the Bronze Age until the Romans, but they should not be confused with the culture of the forts, small fortified citadels. Galician is not a Celtic language in the first place because it is a Romance language, derived from Latin and secondly because the Celts disappeared before the Romans arrived and they did not know how to write, neither here, nor in Ireland, nor in Scotland nor in Wales. Celtic was a Germanic tribe from southern Germany and as a culture they are all the peoples who lived near the Atlantic in Europe until the Iron Age with some similar customs, certainly not meritorious, including Icelanders. Therefore there is nothing Celtic left in Galicia, nothing, nor is it the cradle of the Irish. All of these are myths invented by nationalism during Romanticism.
Gauls have passed since then, hence the name Kalekos in Greek, Gallaecia in Latin. Swabians, Visigoths, 50 years partly of Arabs (racial mixing was prohibited) Visigoths again, East Germanic people who are the Spanish genetic base.
