The record lists Ramón Otero Pedrayo as Spanish geographer and writer (1888-1976).
Ramón Otero Pedrayo was born in 1888. His recorded nationality is Spain.
Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.
He is recorded as writer, politician and geographer.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Recognition followed: Grand Cross of the Civil Order of Alfonso X the Wise and Galician Literature Day.
