Jurria – Guardians Del Garote (Jurria – The Guardians of the Pole)
The Shepherd’s Leap is an old tradition from the Canary Islands, Spain, which let the first Canarian settlers travel quickly through the difficult topography in search of their flocks. Grazing is one of the main reasons this tradition survives, and so when grazing dwindled, the Shepherd’s Leap was in danger. Jurria, The Guardians of the Pole tells of the comeback of this tradition among the inhabitants of Gran Canaria island, thanks to the effort and teachings of an old shepherd called Master Paco. Today the Shepherd's Leap is a cultural phenomenon that survives thanks to groups of people called Jurrias, spread out in Gran Canaria and the rest of the archipelago.
