When the pilgrim on the Camino Frances leaves the city of Burgos and embarks on the stage towards Hontanas, the path passes by this statue. In contrast to most depictions of a pilgrim, which are often shown in motion, the pilgrim depicted here is at rest.

cuando el viaje llegua a su fin
saldra la estrella de la tarde
y las armonias del crepusculo
se abriran ante el portico del rei

loosely translated: When the journey comes to an end, the evening star will rise and the harmonies of the twilight will open at the king's gate.
