When the question of ageing in Galicia, as elsewhere in Spain, is reduced to a ‘problem’ for political geographers and policy makers, we fail to consider the value of intergenerational relationships, and the role these play in the transmission of cultural and historical memory. This article looks to contemporary literary works to analyse the ways in which queer Galician men create complex, alternative intergenerational ‘carescapes’ within their families. By caring for older and younger relatives, the men in these works both challenge and queer conceptualizations of masculinity, ageing and the family.
