Gallego is spoken in what spanish province?

Galician (gallego in Castilian Spanish, galego in the language itself) is spoken in the Spanish provinces of Ourense, Pontevedra, A Coruña, and Lugo. These four provinces make up the Autonomous Community of Galicia. It is also spoken by some people who live near the Galician border in Castille and Leon, Asturias, and in Portugal. In Galicia it is one of two official languages, the other being Spanish which is official throughout Spain. Most people from Galicia consider Galician their mother tongue, and they use it in both private and public life. They are also fully bilingual in Spanish due to the fact that education is conducted 50% in Spanish (it was 100% during the Franco dictatorship) and all national media and a considerable amount of local media is in Spanish.
