This is one of the official signs of the St James' Way although every time we saw one the distance seemed to have changed very little. We thought the figure was how far we had to go but I wonder .... anyone shed any light on this? We've probably missed something very simple.
You will see examples of numerous signs as I tell the story but one thing is that the signage was fantastic and meant that you didn't have to spend your time with your nose stuck in the book or map so we could really enjoy the scenery.
At this sign we met a young German who had started the walk in Stuttgard, walked through Switzerland and planned to get to Santiago in December. I hope all is going well for you Gregor.
Just look at at the scenery and the light. The first part of the walk on this first morning was just so beautiful. The sun shone in a sky which was so blue and peppered in places with wonderful white clouds. In places there was still a great deal of green in the trees but in others the autumn colours were coming through and in this light the colours were sharp and stunning.
At this point above, we had just come off a tarred track onto terrain much stonier and with a deep brown/red hue to it. Today was through volcanic landscape which makes up this Massive Central area and as we climbed we could see the many 'puys' around.
Here are some of the signs I mentioned................
