There is a park in Madrid called the Quinta de los Molinos, which is not exactly the most visited by people, but nevertheless holds some hidden treasures such as the 1500 almond bloom in January and February (although this year has been delayed flowering) and is a real estate walk among them and to capture images how are you, in the heart of the city. Viewed from a distance all seem a snowy landscape. But when you closer you realize that, in fact, are like an oasis in the middle of the road.

Pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago locations in Navarra
pilgrims are called travelers visiting the holy places and history along the three great medieval pilgrimage sites are: Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago de Compostela. The cult of the Camino de Santiago began in the ninth century and the purpose of this pilgrimage was to find the tomb of St. James.
After evangelize Spain, Santiago returned to Palestine where he was killed. His disciples recovered his body and moved to Galicia, in a miraculous boat, guided only by God. It is said that his body was buried in the old palace was converted into Lupa Church. After his grave was forgotten for over 800 years, but under the reign of Alfonso II (789-842), a hermit named Pelagius was in vision, knowledge of where encontraban los restos del Apóstol. El campo donde yacía la tumba escondida se llenó de una luz brillante y desde entonces se le conoce como "Compostela" (Campo de Estrellas).
Y aunque a partir del siglo XVI este peregrinaje entró en crisis, en los últimos tiempos ha vuelto a alcanzar un gran auge. Hace algo más de un año estuve visitando Navarra y como es zona de paso de los peregrinos que siguen el Camino Francés, encontré varios de ellos en nuestro camino. Y estas fotos son de algunos de los peregrinos que pude retratar con mi cámara y de algunos de los lugares por los que pasaban en su peregrinación to Santiago.
