Construido en las alturas del una cordelada kárstica dotada de simas y cavernas subterráneas, el templo de San Miguel Excelsis es un monumental centro de peregrinaje cristiano ornado con leyendas medievales de dragones y caballeros condenados. El complejo ceremonial se encuentra emplazado debajo del pico Altxueta, que ostenta antenas de telecomunicaciones y un hito deportivo erigido por un club de montañismo local. La autora compartió con jóvenes devotos locales la subida a pie desde el monasterio de Zamartze hasta el santuario en las alturas de Aralar y realizó una breve ascensión en solitario a la cima Altxueta. En sucesivas visitas al templo de San Miguel Excelsis entrevistó informalmente al sacristán custodio y a pastores que trabajan y viven a los pies del macizo. Asimismo, se familiarizó con diversas versiones de la leyenda del Caballero Teodosio de Goñi y observó la realización de ritos populares de prevención y curación a través del contacto con cadenas de hierro y del inusual procedimiento denominado “escuchar al dragón”.Universidad de San Martín de Porres2022-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed articleArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/xmlapplication/ziphttp://ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com/index.php/typ/article/view/turpatrim.2022.n19.0110.24265/turpatrim.2022.n19.01Turismo y Patrimonio; No 19 (2022): Turismo y Patrimonio; 9-22Turismo y Patrimonio; Núm. 19 (2022): Turismo y Patrimonio; 9-222313-853X1680-9556reponame:Turismo y Patrimonioinstname:Universidad de San Martín de Porresinstacron:USMPspahttp://ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com/index.php/typ/article/view/turpatrim.2022.n19.01/261http://ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com/index.php/typ/article/view/turpatrim.2022.n19.01/271http://ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com/index.php/typ/article/view/turpatrim.2022.n19.01/294http://ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com/index.php/typ/article/view/turpatrim.2022.n19.01/304info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs2.ojs.revistaturismoypatrimonio.com:article/2822025-02-14T16:33:10Z
