the obvious flaw in the design of the new 'milestones' is now being felt.
The new milestones have the distance to Santiago engraved on a metal plaque. And this metal plaque has been removed from a significant number of milestones. And this is only the first season! My guess is that there will only be handful left next year.
This means that, as they do not have a place location like the old ones, we no longer know if we are 2 or 10 kms from our destination. Remember that most towns do not have a sign either as you enter them.
