Emilio Estevez
Martin Sheen
Belorado made a decision in 2010 to celebrate the Jacobean year by creating a Promenade of the Driven (Paseo del Ánimo) along the camino as it passed through the town. It was meant to recognize both local and international people who, through their efforts, had made a contribution to the greater good. They would come from all walks of life…cultural, athletic, science, political. The town also wanted to recognize that people without renown, specifically those pilgrims who made Belorado part of their journey. The town fathers achieved this goal by having the selected honorees place a hand and footprint into a tile to be laid along the camino path. The tiles were then alternated to give the appearance of someone walking a path through Belorado. People included were the four time Spanish Olympian (and local girl) Marta Dominguez, Spanish cyclists Miguel Induráin and Alberto Contador, American director Emilio Estevez and Canadian actress Deborah Kara Unger. But probably most famous of all was Martin Sheen, who stayed in Belorado while filming the movie “The Way”. So, look down as you cross through Belorado on your camino and see how Martin left his mark on the Way.
