Geocache Description:



El musgoso es un varón alto y delgado, su cara es pálida, con ojos pequeños y hundidos y tiene una larga y negra barba. Viste una zamarra de musgo seco y sandalias de piel de lobo, en su zurrón de cuero amarillo brillante siempre lleva una flauta negra de madera desconocida.

Su andar es lento pero constante, parece cansado pero nunca se detiene. Luce su caminar con un amplio vaivén de hombros y lleva las manos escondidas en el pecho como si tuviera frío. Nadie ha oído su voz, ni ha sido visto parlamentando con persona alguna, pero en los montes de Cantabria todo el mundo le respeta y muchos de los pastores le deben incluso la vida. Su vida la dedica a realizar el bien en el monte, avisando de peligros naturales, de la presencia del Ojáncano o de cualquier otro ser maligno.

A veces toca la flauta, sin dejar de andar.. sus melodías son dulces pero tristes a la vez, aunque nunca toca de noche, durante la noche se dedica a silbar. El sonido de su flauta indica a los pastores que deben protegerse del temporal, guardando sus rebaños y buscando refugio. Sin embargo el aviso de alerta que los pastores atienden más en días de bruma densa, son unos ruidos característicos similares al desgajo de una rama o una piedra rodando monte abajo.

Llegado el invierno los pastores abandonan los montes con sus rebaños y dejan descuidadas las cabañas que mantiene en perfecto uso el musgoso.

=========================================================

The "Musgoso" or mossy man is a man who one day got tired of putting up with society and decided to retreat into the woods. He is tall and thing with a pale face, small sunken eyes and has a long black beard. The wears a dry moss jacket and wolf skin sandals. He always carries a black unknown wooden flute in his bright leather bag. He keeps a slow and steady pace, which makes him appear tired yet, he never stops. He walks swinging his wide shoulders and tucks his hands into his chest as if he were cold.

No one has ever heard his voice, nor has he ever been seen speaking to anyone, but within the Cantabrian mountains he is respected by many and several shepherds owe their life to him. He is dedicated to doing good for the mountains, warning of natural dangers, the presence of the Ojáncano or of any other malignant being. He sometimes plays the flute while walking. His tunes are sweet, but sad at the same time. Although he never plays at night, he does however whistle.

His flute's tune lets the shepherds know that they should temporarily protect themselves and flock and look for shelter.
