It was in 2018 when a young artist from Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona) began to become recognized internationally. Rosalía managed to captivate the public a few years ago with her great voice, an impeccable staging and with one of the most acclaimed albums in the history of music in Spain, El Mal Querer. But the truth is that before being one of the greatest artists in the history of our country, she also had an anonymous life. Now, some images of the singer at 19 years old have come to light, while she was walking the famous Camino de Santiago.
Thousands of people travel the different routes that make up the Camino de Santiago every year and, during their pilgrimage, they cannot miss photos to remember. This is what Rosalía did in 2011. The performer of songs like Saoko or Dolerme set out to walk to the cathedral of the city of Santiago de Compostela, a trip of which details have now come to light.
“When I was 19 years old I went to walk the Camino de Santiago alone and while I was doing it, I asked from the bottom of my heart to be able to one day dedicate myself to music,” the singer explained through social networks in 2018, after having given a concert in the city. In the same publication, she assured that she had been very excited about returning to the city, since this time she did it to carry out her own show.
More than a decade after the international artist made the pilgrimage, a fan account on X (formerly Twitter) has shared images of the singer doing the Camino de Santiago. The photographs have not gone unnoticed, since in the images a very young Rosalía appears, almost unrecognizable. At that time, she was still an anonymous person, so she was able to make the journey as calmly as possible without being recognized, something that would be a difficult task today.
During the journey, it is common for pilgrims to establish relationships and friendships with others. The singer was no exception, and she was able to meet and interact with several people, as can be seen in the images shared on social networks. In fact, one of the young people who appears on one of the postcards sent out a tweet in 2020 asking if the girl who appeared in his memories of the Camino de Santiago was Rosalía.
“Hello Rosalía, we need to know something. We did the Camino de Santiago a few years ago (2011-2012) with friends. We were one afternoon with a girl called Rosalía and she was from Barcelona. Is that you? We are making bets and we have to solve it,” he asked. the boy in the tweet shared years ago. In this way, all these people had the privilege of knowing the singer before she became famous worldwide.
