“I’m Víctor Garrido. Since I was a child I have used the word ‘Vaqueiro’ in a derogatory way. Not long ago I found out that my family name is a Vaqueiro name…” “Vaqueiro“ shows today’s reality of a group in the Asturias society that stands out for its customs, like the seasonal migration undertaken generation after generation.“ During the last decades, development and the sharp decline of rural life have contributed to a slow disintegration of the Vaqueiro’s way of life. Quite a few wrong theories and some historical facts are behind this group’s social isolation in its environment. This social marginalization and my own prejudices pushed me to search for a direct encounter with these people. What I have found is a kind, strong and determined society.

VAQUEIROV E R S I Ó N I

Víctor Garrido

I’m Víctor Garrido.

Since I was a child I have used

the word vaqueiro in a derogatory way,

not long ago I found out that my family name is a vaqueiro name...

Mi nombre es Víctor Garrido. Desde pequeño he utilizado la palabra vaqueiro de manera despectiva, hace poco descubrí que mi apellido es vaqueiro...

Vaqueiro shows today’s reality of a group in the Asturias society

that stands out for its customs, like the seasonal migration undertaken

generation after generation.

During the last decades, development and the sharp decline

of rural life have contributed to a slow disintegration of the

Vaqueiro’s way of life.

Quite a few wrong theories and some historical facts are behind

this group’s social isolation in its environment.

This social marginalization and my own prejudices pushed me to search

for a direct encounter with these people. What I have found is a kind,

strong and determined society.

Vaqueiro trata de mostrar la realidad actual de un grupo diferenciado por sus costumbres dentro de la sociedad asturiana, entre la que destacaba la trashumancia estacional realizada generación tras generación.

El progreso y la caída en picado de la vida rural han provocado una lenta descomposición del modo de vida vaqueiro en las últimas décadas.

Numerosas teorías erróneas y hechos históricos provocaron que este grupo haya sufrido una marginación social dentro de su entorno.

Esta segregación social sumada a mis propios prejuicios me empujó a buscar una confrontación directa con estas personas, descubriendo una sociedadafable, fuerte y luchadora.
