The Gone Country

Photographer & Editor

The Gone Country is a stunning exploration of the region of the Couto Mixto and his history, culture, and landscape. In his work, Batalla captures the spirit of this unique microstate and its people, documenting the ways in which its legacy continues to shape the identity of the Galician and Portuguese communities who call it home.

Through his lens, Batalla reveals the rich and complex history of the Couto Mixto, from its origins as a buffer zone between two kingdoms to its unique system of governance and its eventual absorption into the Kingdom of Spain
