Tonight St. James has passed
His light path in the sky.
It is said by the children playing
With the water of a serene stream.

Where is the heavenly pilgrim going
By the clear infinite path?
He goes to the dawn that shines in the background
on white horse like ice.

Federico García Lorca, "Naive ballad" (fragment), July 25, 1918.

In the image, one of the two statues of the sculptural complex "La llegada" (The arrival), work of the Galician sculptor José María Acuña López (1903-1991), located in the viewpoint of the Mount of Gozo, from which the pilgrims come for the first time the towers of the Cathedral From Santiago de Compostela.
