Castrapo is the name of one of the varieties of the Galician dialect of the Spanish (Castilian) language that is spoken in Galicia . Its distinguishing feature is the use of words and phrases borrowed from the Galician language , which are not in the Castilian language. This dialect is considered popular.
Examples: Pecha la ventana (castrapo) - Cierra la ventana (Castilian) - Pecha a ventá / fiestra / xanela (Galician). Un litro de aceche (castrapo) - Un litro de aceite (Castilian and Galician). Here, the Galician ending “-eite” is replaced by the Castilian “-eche”.
