Hardened and Harlequin are two Andalusian donkey who arrived in Santiago yesterday with their owners from Sevilla and Malaga.

A long journey that culminated this morning in the Plaza del Obradoiro with the celebration of welcome by the Association of donkeys fariñeiros of Galicia. The president of the association, James Perez Paz, entertained the party with a basket of products gallegos, full of ham, sausages, steak and sausage, and Galician and Andalusian provided at 08:30 hours with wines from their respective lands feat starring asses after traveling 1065 miles.
The Andalucian donkeys left last May 25 led by the president of the Union of farmers of the Andalusian breed mules, Antonio Martín, and livestock Coin (Malaga) Sebastian Flag Southern Colorado in this way the Camino de Santiago. Antonio Martin told Efe that "it is wonderful" and "a privilege" to have made the Way and have now come to Santiago, despite some unfortunate incidents during the trip, as more miles they had to do to get lost in the Sierra Extremadura as a result of the lack of signs.
On arrival, officials from both associations wore layers of the Order two Cabaleiros of Galicia and the Order of Ladies and Knights of St. Froilan to welcome the pilgrims in the Obradoiro, where at first said, were difficulties in holding the meeting but finally got the necessary permissions to do so. Both associations concluded a partnership with the objective to collaborate between these endangered breeds, because according to Efe said James Perez Paz, there are fewer than two hundred specimens of donkeys fariñeiros, the names of the animals rolled the stones to grind grain, and about five hundred donkeys Andalusians.
In this regard, we also ask the Xunta de Galicia to be recognized as the donkey breed fariñeiro and that may be present in genetic studies to support these races. Andalusian Breeders expected to return tomorrow by plane to his homeland, a journey that this time the donkeys carried out in a trailer after living these days with the donkeys fariñeiros.
