Roman mile markers on Sanabres?

[JillGat]

I will be walking from Puebla de Sanabria to Santiago in the spring. I know that route follows some Roman roads. Are there any Roman mile markers that anyone has seen?

I can't recall any on this section, only quite a few in the south.

Not sure that many of the original ones are left anywhere, though some are -- most of the ones that look Roman are actually modern recreations, in Spain anyway.

I came across a couple of real ones on a section of the Vasco Interior near Burgos, slightly hors-piste.

Not that I remember, there are some medieval ones . I hear that on the Primitivo there are a lot of surviving markers of all types

On the southern section of the Via de la Plata, yes and there are even sections of Roman road, but I am not sure about the Sanabrés. Here is a link to a recent thread with some useful posts giving information about Roman roads:
