It means that some inconsiderate idiot walked the Camino before you.I am now walking Camino Primitivo and several places have I seen this sign. Does anyone know what it means?
Thank you! I couldn’t open the Spanish article but I got the idea what it all was aboutYou can read about it here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...graffiti-on-camino-mojones.28457/#post-237639
I don’t think this had something to do with a reverse route. It was painted on stones, trees etc.A spiral blue arrow indicates the reverse route. Usually it is on the back of the mojone.
Or maybe in the immortal words of Buzz Lightyear "To Infinity and beyond! “The arrow leading upwards, away from infinity IMHO, likely means "Onward to Infinity..." At least that is one plausible explanation...
I couldn't get the article at your URL but I did find it atperegrina2000 said:
According to this article, a 33 year old French pilgrim on the Camino Primitivo has been arrested for painting his particular sign (roughly the infinity sign with an arrow going through it) on numerous signs and camino mojones (I think the word is bollards). Some pictures and the full article here:

No objections from this peregrina!
