Monument to the Pilgrim of Alto del Perdón

Here you can expect not only an impressive monument, but a splendid panoramic view of large parts of Spain. The ascent or the journey by bike is difficult. But you will be rewarded!

Sculptural group of pilgrims from different eras made of iron by Vicente Galbete and sponsored by the Association of Friends of the Camino de Navarra, enjoying a beautiful view. The statue bears the motto 'Where the path of the wind intersects with that of the stars'.

"The art installation "Monumento del Peregrinos" goes back to a suggestion by the pilgrim Ernesto Calvo, who is a member of the Friends of the Way of St. James in Navarre. (...) Seventeen life-size flat figures made of naturally rusted iron, twelve people and five animals, form one Pilgrimage with members from different epochs, social classes and age groups. Men, women and children are there. The figures were set up in 1996 as landmarks that can be seen from afar. These are works by Vicente Galbete Martinicorena, a sculptor from Pamplona. (... )
After the installation was complete, the artist did not wish to inaugurate the art installation: Galbete wanted to express his respect for the centuries-long continuity of the procession of pilgrims. He understood the group as part of this pilgrimage, but not as something new."
