    OS CRUCEIROS DA TERRA CHÁ. ALGUNHAS TIPOLOXÍAS DOS CRUCEIROS DE COSPEITO. AUTORES: ARRIBAS ARIAS, Fernando BLANCO PRADO, José Manuel REFERENCIA ESENCIAL: Libro CATÁLOGO DE CRUCEIROS DA TERRA CHÁ. CRUCEIROS DE BEGONTE, COSPEITO E RÁBADE, Sada (A Coruña): Ed. do Castro, 2000. Autoría.: FERNANDO ARRIBAS ARIAS E JOSÉ MANUEL BLANCO PRADO. I. INTRODUCCIÓN. UNHA CHAIRA DE CRUCEIROS. (RAMÓN VILLARES 1) A Terrachá luguesa é comarca de lindeiros ben derregados de xeito natural por tres dos seus catro puntos cardinais, salvo na súa fronteira cara o sul, que se esvai sen ruptura franca coas terraqs do Narla e do Pallares. A Chaira é tamén comarca de moradores dotados da identidade especial que concede a adversidade histórica e a experiencia dunha loita incesante contra unha natureza ingrata, de gándaras molladas e de fondais veiguentos e cheos de lentura. Terra e xente danlle á Terrachá unha fasquía especial no concerto das bisbarras galaicas, dada a riqueza do seu patrimonio natural e a enerxía vital dos chairegos e “baluros”, forxados na epopeya da emigración transoceánica e da migración máis temporeira do traballo en Castela e Andalucía, cando non se deslocaban cara outras terras de Galicia, para faceren as cavas do monte en Ortigueira ou a seitura nas terras de Chamoso, Sarria e da depresión monfortina, a onde ían de “alugados” os que non valían para soportar a dureza do clima vrañego de Castela. Esta fartura natural e humana non ten o seu correlato no patrimonio histórico e artístico da Chaira. Os seus vellos castelos medievais, salvo exemplos senlleiros como a lanzal torre dos Andrades vilalbeses, foron desmochados nos tempos irmandiños ou abatidos polo paso do tempo, que non se axoenlla perante títulos nen superioridades.

  • ANCARES the Sierra De Ancares (Ancares Mountain Range) Is Situated Between the Provinces of Lugo, Leon and Asturias
    ANCARES The Sierra de Ancares (Ancares mountain range) is situated between the provinces of Lugo, Leon and Asturias. The origin of the word “Ancares” is not known: early in the XX century the only reference to Ancares was a valley in the borough of Candin, (Leon) which stretched from the Pass of Ancares to the Pass of Lumeiras. For some reason, the term extended first to the mountain range and later to cover the whole of the area or district. Some say the term Ancares was extended to the Gallican side of the range due to a timber company called Ancares and which extracted wood from the Cervantes area in the 1930’s It is also difficult to define exactly to what area we refer when we speak of Ancares – the term has given rise to much interest and now covers areas having little to do with the mountain range or the nature area which gives it such a good name. On the Galician side there is a district called Ancares , east of the province of Lugo, comprising the towns of As Nogais Becerreá, Baralla, Cervantes, Navia de Suarna and Pedrafita do Cebreiro. On the Leon side, Ancares is known as the territory formed by the Balboa valleys between the rivers Burbia, Ankara, Cua and Fornela (about 50 places distributed between the towns of Balboa, Vega de Espinareda, Villafranca del Bierzo, Fabero , Páramo del Sil, Palacios del Sil, Villablino, Peranzanes and Candín). The range continues into Asturias and the name is sometimes applied to the Asturian districts of Degaña and Ibias.
