This modern work of art depicts a pilgrim, who, however, is not shown naturalistically, but rather somewhat schematically, which is perhaps also due to the use of the material (arms and legs are made from a squared sheet of metal). Nevertheless, the figure is clearly recognizable and (with the exception of the actually obligatory hat) has the essential attributes of the pilgrim: a backpack on which the rolled-up blanket or sleeping bag can be seen, and an (almost oversized) pilgrim's staff. The upper curvature of it reminds the viewer of a bishop's crook. A nice touch along the way that will certainly delight many passing pilgrims.

There is a nice piece of artwork depicting a pilgrim, next to a water fountain 100m before you cross the bridge over the railway lines on entering Sahagun
