We see a real curiosity in the small town of Alija del Infantado - a naval monument with a large anchor. Meanwhile, the town is far away from the sea, but boasts of having sent the most seafarers per inhabitant to the Spanish Navy. Christopher Columbus was also accompanied by sailors from this nest on his voyages of discovery. They all had set off from time to time to get to Seville along the Via de la plata.
Today we no longer meet any wandering prospective seamen on the pilgrimage route. But also an extraordinary pilgrim personality is on the way, albeit to the north-west in the direction of Santiago de Campostella: a pilgrim on horseback.
