Take the opportunity to have a coffee in the bar in front and seal your book here. The Pelegrins are a tradition known as "pelegrín", which is found in some milestones of the French Way of Santiago in Spain. These pelegríns are figures made of old clothes, stuffed with straw or other materials, and placed on posts or crossroads along the way.
The tradition of the pelegríns dates back centuries, when pilgrims walked the Camino de Santiago. These figures were believed to scare away birds and ward off evil spirits, thus protecting travelers on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

It belongs to the municipality of Santa Marina del Rey and is located near the Órbigo River, which gives it its name. This area is known for its rural landscapes and its proximity to the Vía de la Plata and the Camino de Santiago, which makes it a point of interest for pilgrims.
