The Eurorregio Galicia-Northern Portugal: a look to mobility from the Iberian context

La geografía española actual. Estado de la cuestión

“…En esa misma década, aparecen otros trabajos sobre distintos aspectos del contexto transfronterizo, como la movilidad (Palmeiro y Pazos, 2008), las estructuras de cooperación (Palmeiro, 2009) o las dinámicas territoriales en el conjunto del noroeste de la Península Ibérica (Lois, Pazos y Piñeira, 2009). En la década de 2010 se incorporan nuevos investigadores al Departamento de Xeografía de la U. de Santiago de Compostela (USC), como Juan M. Trillo.…”

On borders and boundaries in Spain: A state of the art

“…In 2007, his lecture on taking up his position as Professor of Geography at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) was entitled, precisely, Fronteras y análisis geográfico: la raya gallego-portuguesa (Borders and geographical analysis: the Galician-Portuguese border). In that same decade, other studies were published on different aspects of the borderlands, including mobility (Palmeiro and Pazos, 2008), structures of cooperation (Palmeiro, 2009) and the spatial dynamics of the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (Lois-González, Pazos and Piñeira, 2009). In the 2010s, new researchers joined the Geography Department of the USC, including Juan-M. Trillo-Santamaría.…”

Geographies of the South. The Study of the Rural Landscape in Portugal: Southern Unicity in Patterns and Changing Functions

“…An overview of the border can be found in Lois and Carballo (2015), who highlighted its progressively increasing permeability, as well as the contrasting territorial dynamics along its length. The relationships between Galicia and Northern Portugal have also been examined at the scale of the Autonomous Community-Region by Palmeiro and Pazos (2008), by Trillo and Lois (2011) and by the political scientist Cancela (2010); and at a local scale by the political scientist María , and by Trillo, Lois and Paül (2015). As regards the relationship between Castilla y León and Northern and Central Portugal, Manero (2012) provided a positive assessment of the dynamics of municipal CBC in the Duero-Douro Euroregion, while Martín and Hortelano (2017) cast light on the difficulties of some areas hard hit by depopulation and inactivity, and Trillo and Paül (2018) questioned the aims of the Biosfera Meseta Ibérica Reserve, which they consider excessively geared toward tourism.…”
