Carlos da Barreira ( Geira Arrieros Way)
President of the "Codeseda Viva" association
Based on the discovery of a document dating from 1589, and after years of research, he is working for the homologation of the official Jacobean route of the Geira Romana Arrieiros route, also known as Camino Miñoto Ribeiro. The Camiño dos Arrieiros goes from Braga to Santiago and has a distance of 240 km. It crosses the border through the natural park of Geres-Xurés in Portela do Homem and crosses a total of fourteen Galician municipalities in the provinces of Ourense, Pontevedra and A Coruña passing through places such as Lobios, Ribadavia, Pazos de Arenteiro, A Estrada or Pontevea.
Carlos da Barreira is president of the "Codeseda Viva" association. Having walked the French, Portuguese and Original Routes, for the last 14 years he has been studying, along with a team of researchers, the evidence that pilgrims visited his hometown (Codeseda) and A Estrada.
At Fairway, he will share all the historical data that supports this endorsement and the work carried out to date in its promotion; this includes a guide on the Route co-authored by Carlos and the web to which he regularly contributes, in order to highlight this curious route of the “Camino” that runs through the Ribeiro area on the way to Compostela (www.debragaasantiago.com).
