WHAT DOES MULETEER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Arriero

An arriero is a person who transports goods using pack animals. In South America, arrieros transport coffee, maize, cork, wheat, and myriad other items. They remain common in the paisa region of Colombia. The fictional Juan Valdez, brand representative of the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia, is an archetypal arriero carrying coffee sacks with this mule. In English, an arriero is a form of muleteer, a wrangler of pack animals. In California, muleteers work out of pack stations. A muleteer can also be known as a muleskinner, a more informal term. The term muleskinner means someone who can "skin" or outsmart a mule. Mules are known for being stubborn, but really are just smart. So, you have to be smarter than a mule to train them. In the Catalan language, an arriero is a traginer. In Europe, there are still arrieros in the South of Portugal and the South-West of Spain, in the cork producing area. The role of the arrieros is now limited to transporting the cork with their mules, out of the Mediterranean oak forest to more accessible routes, where modern means of transport are available.
