Anís Compostela advertisements illustrated by Enrique Gil Guerra under the pen name "Nike"; the archive holds 2 pieces.
Active at least in the first half of the 20th century (c. 1930s–1950s)
Anís Compostela was a locally produced anise liqueur brand from Ourense, made by Manuel Gómez at his bodega Licores Gómez, on Calle Mercado in the A Ponte (El Puente) district of Ourense. The brand name evokes Santiago de Compostela's standing as the cultural capital of Galicia, although production was based in Ourense. The company distributed the product through travelling salesmen in the Galician region, with activity documented at least during the period of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). Anís Compostela was one of the many regional anise liqueur brands that proliferated in Galicia during the first half of the 20th century, with local printed advertising as evidence of its presence in the market.
