Welcome from your neighbor! I'm also in the east bay area. Quarantine hiking and walking in a kilt is great! Hopefully some of the summer games in NorCal will happen, my guess is by labor day Pleasanton will be on again.

Welcome from Southern California!
As you see I'm a Scottish piper, and for many years I also played the Gaita Gallega.
We have a Spanish club down here, I'm sure there's one in the Bay Area too, and a chapter of Xunta de Galicia that brings over Galician musicians from time to time.
I think there's a Galicia tartan, isn't there?
In any case when you see the "Gal" in a place-name it's usually Celtic peoples, the Gaels: Gaul, Galway, Donegal, Galloway, Galicia, Galatia...
As you may know, the Bay Area has a very old Highland Games, which until 2020 had survived world wars and pandemics and earthquakes and had been held every year since 1866.
