Excerpts: Ramón Piñeiro López (Láncara, 31 May 1915 – Santiago de Compostela, 27 August 1990) was a Spanish writer and politician who was active in Galicia. He was honored at the 2009 Galician Literature Day.

López was one of Galicia's historical figures in the 20th century, with a key role in continuing the Galicianism movement throughout the Spanish Civil War (for which reason he was imprisoned between 1946 and 1949).

As an intellectual, he was one of the founders and first directors of the Galaxia publishing house and the Grial magazine.
