"Fariña" és un relat interessant que narra, a través de testimonis directes, el narcotràfic a Galicia des del principi del contraban fins a l’actualitat.

Un ensayo muy bien documentado sobre una realidad oscura de Galicia.

In un mondo sempre più interconnesso, dove le distanze vengono annullate da un click e i luoghi d'incontro virtuali stanno soppiantando quelli reali, anche le mafie stanno imparando ad adattarsi: sfruttando le potenzialità della tecnologia, si addentrano nello spazio digitale come fosse un nuovo territorio di conquista. Ancora una volta, la criminalità organizzata dà prova di essere estremamente flessibile e capace di stare al passo coi tempi. Non si serve più di picciotti rozzi e sfrontati, ma di abili professionisti con competenze nel settore informatico e finanziario.

"La gente ci descrive come fossimo dei mostri, delle persone senza scrupoli, come se ammazzassimo la gente così a caso. Non è vero. Sappiamo farlo quando serve. Io so essere cattivo, quando serve. Se non serve faccio la persona normale."
