Popping Pilgrims

Surprises spring from these thirty-three singing postcards of people and places from the Camino de Santiago, northern Spain. Take a stroll with us and Salado The Stick, a big stock of old jokes and a small backpack over the Pyrenees. Camino Carpe Diem... New World and Old Europe songlines...inter-cultural, inter-generational 21st-century encounters...20th century pop playlists...a tune, a moment captured, sackfuls of smiles, unexpected memories and just a few tears...Buen Camino!

Angel y Las Huertas de Huarte

Angel on his way to his huerta in Huarte...

Click on photo for Angel's Popping Pilgrim song...

Angel is seventy-nine years old, and twice a week he walks seven kilometres through Pamplona's secret riverside park to buy vegetables from his favourite "Huerta" (market garden) in Huarte.

Then he walks the seven kilometres home.

Sometimes, although very rarely, Angel's path crosses that of a peregrino...
