A spot to place a stone

[Perejil]

Is there an equivalent place to the Cruz de Ferrol along the Via de la Plata Cameno where pilgrims lay a stone symbolising what they want to leave behind before rebirth on the last part of the Cameno? As part of my Cameno I'd like to lay a stone and unload precedent life burdens.
There is a stone cross to peregrinyos who died on Cameno between Laza and Sandias but it doesn't sound like it has the same significants.
I plan to walk Verin to Santiago, and may consider extending the walk to start at Broganca (Portugal).

Not a clue, my friend... I have seen a few in some granite formations but it seemed like an "ad hoc" approach. Not a place, as far as I can remember between Sevilla and Salamanca

Cruz de Ferro is naught but a cairn meant to mark the high point of the Camino between Astorga and Ponferrada.

There is no basis for the tradition that has arisen to 'lay a stone symbolizing what they want to leave behind before rebirth on the later part of the camino'. Leaving stones is just paintless graffiti saying 'I was here'.

Hence there is no place on the Camino Plata for leaving bricks best left as paving stones in your yard.

Take only photos. Leave only footprints.

Thanks guys, it sound like the stone tradition is unique to the Frances trail.

The Stackers put stones on every mojone, usually just road gravel and not something from home. Trailside crosses and memorials are usually covered with stones.
