Two recent newspaper articles describe Charrito‘s love of the Geira. Links below.

Just FYI, I did get his permission to post these with reference to his forum name, since the article contains his real name.


 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
I met the mayor of Beariz today. He insisted on giving me a very heavy cultural review, which I have carried, but he was also very delighted to know that I was a friend of Charrito’s. He had not seen the articles, so I was glad to have them online to show him. He has been the mayor of this town for, I think, 39 years! And he is very much hoping that the Camino da Geira will takeoff!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Thanks for calling me a 'gentleman'!! I've been called far worse things before, sometimes even on this forum!!

What I said in the interviews is that I had walked 21 complete caminos, but at times I just drive up from Salamanca and walk for a few days or a week on different routes without worrying about finishing in Santiago. That's where the two journalists got the number 31 from.

I was also given the same cultural guide by Don Manuel Prado, the mayor of Beariz, and can verify what you say about it being a bit heavy!!

He's a great person to have a few wines with in the Bar Centro.
