M.Ted, sorry ! (however, you see that I had left a door open to new things to learn!) I haven't found any reference to the Eastern European region under the names Galicia or Galizia, but now I've found it in my Spanish Encyclopedia, under the unexpected name of GALITZIA, and all information is coincident with yours. Then there are TWO Galicias, apparently with no relation except the roots of their name. Thanks a lot for the information.

Don, that's correct. "Soul" and "spirit" could also define the meaning of "duende" when referring to artists. In this case, the term is used to define the "soul" of a regional culture.

Un abrazo - Andrés
