Decorated pilgrims are dolls made from used clothing that appear on milestones, signs, or crosses along the Camino de Santiago. They usually represent pilgrims, religious figures, or invented characters, with a free and colorful style. This spontaneous tradition has multiple interpretations: some see them as a way to record their passage along the Camino, others as amulets of protection or gratitude. Beyond their symbolism, they are a creative expression that brings humanity, humor, and an artistic touch to the landscape of the Camino.
