Toponimia de España: Estado actual y perspectivas de la investigación

This collective work is of exceptional not only for specialists in the Spanish language and its dialects, but in other Romance languages and Romance, since it includes chapters on the toponymy of bilingual communities in the country: Galicia, Asturias, Catalonia, Baleares, Valencia, Basque Country and Navarra.
