The actor is in Galicia with his son, Emilio Estevez, seeking locations for their new film about the pilgrimage route

The U.S. actor Martin Sheen celebrated his 69th birthday in Galicia this Monday, where he and his actor-director son, Emilio Estevez, are seeking locations for their new film on the Camino de Santiago, ‘The Way’. Sheen’s father was from Salceda de Caselas, in Pontevedra.

He and his son will be back in Galicia in October to film scenes for the film in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.

After attending the pilgrimage mass at the Cathedral on Monday, the actor met with the President of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who he presented with a signed DVD of his Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning series ‘The West Wing’. It was signed ‘From one president to another’.
