123 years of #LuisBuñuel, 102 of #GiuliettaMasina e 84 beyond #AntonioMachado.

#Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay #camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.
