From 1908 the Galician group in Cuba started to organize the popular “romerías”, typical of their country of origin. The initiative was not taken by the great regional societies but by the small local ones. From then on, every Sunday Galician “romerías” were celebrated in the gardens of the big Havana breweries where Galician pies and Ribeiro wine were consumed with melancholy indulgence to the nostalgic sounds of the bagpipes and the merry tunes of the “muñeiras”. In these festive gatherings the identity of the Galician people in the Caribbean exile was revitalized and even created.
