Charrito in the news

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.

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!

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.
