[OSM-talk] Lot's of locality names in an otherwise empty area

I'm looking at the following section of OSM:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/42.9959/-8.3908

I see lots and lots of locality names, on what the satellite imagery 
confirms to be otherwise just empty fields and forests. I'm pretty sure 
I've seen this elsewhere on OSM, in another part of the world. Does 
anybody know why are all these place names there - in the middle of nowhere?
