What does it mean to cross a border that people have always lived across?
It means moving from one side to the other without feeling that you have entered a different land.
It means finding the same landscape, the same river, familiar ways of speaking, shared histories and ways of life that do not end at the line drawn on a map.
Between the Minho and Galicia, the border has long been a place of passage, work, smuggling, emigration and encounter.
Today, we can cross it by car.
But for generations, it has been crossed by people, families, words, customs and memories.
A border can divide territories.
It does not necessarily divide the lives that inhabit them.
