Algebraic curves over finite fields can be used to obtain error correcting codes since the seminal work of Goppa in the early 1980s. Algebraic geometric (AG) codes have ``good'' parameters when the underlying curve has many rational points with respect to its genus. For this reason, maximal curves (i.e. curves attaining the upper bound in the Hasse-Weil bound) have been widely investigated. Recently, AG codes from Hermitian, Suzuki, Klein quartic, GK, and GGS curves and their quotients attracted a lot of attention. Most of the constructions of AG codes are one-point. In the case of multi-point AG codes, the main problem is a suitable description of Riemann-Roch spaces associated with divisors having a large support. This paper deals with the construction of AG codes defined from GGS curves, a generalization of the GK curve. In particular, the authors describe bases for the Riemann-Roch spaces associated with some rational places, and characterize explicitly the Weierstrass semigroups and pure gaps (a generalization of gaps) by an exhaustive computation for the basis of Riemann-Roch spaces from GGS curves. As a byproduct, multi-point codes with parameters achieving new records are obtained.
