A year earlier, he had been injured in a road accident and made a full recovery.
So the man decided to make a pilgrimage to a shrine to give thanks for his survival – only to be knocked down and killed by a car less than a mile into his trek.
The 40-year-old Spanish man died instantly after being hit by the vehicle just 20 minutes into his journey.
Two women walking with him were also killed in the accident.
The pilgrim left his home in the town of Ordes, in north-west Spain, on Saturday morning.
He planned to walk the 20 miles to Caion so that he could give thanks at the shrine of the Virgin Mary.
A spokesman for Ordes town hall told French news agency AFP: 'He had been injured in a road accident a year earlier and wanted to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for making a full recovery.
'But he was tragically hit by a car barely a mile into his journey and died instantly.
'Two women walking with him, believed to be his aunts, were also killed.'
It is thought the three victims were making the journey as part of a group of six pilgrims.
An Ordes police spokesman said the driver of the car had probably fallen asleep at the wheel and that an investigation into the accident had been opened.

Being a fan of a football team is idolatry? You are one mentally ill lost soul.
The four colors of the Buccaneers, white, red, pewter (pale), black, do they remind you of the colors of the four horsemen of the apocolypse (Revelation 6)?
Arrhhh, salient observation. Their god may be a jealous god, but my god is an ironic god and invites you to sit at his right hand on a whoopie cushion.
Get a life you frigging mental case.
What are the colors of your team, the Westboro Baptist Church?
It might not be the Creator’s irony, it might be someone else who inspired the driver to hit them, or to use drugs/alcohol that resulted in his “falling asleep”.
he was giving thanks to someone other than the Lord?
You get this judgement from reading the title of an article from a UK tabloid that frequently ridicules God?
