Interesting Camino Markers - Post photos of markers you have met

[DoughnutANZ]

After becoming bored at taking photos of yet another beautiful village and/or church I started taking photos of other things. One was the various markers from the ubiquitous yellow arrow to ornate oyster shells. Below are some of my photos, including some hard to spot markers. Please contribute your own photos of markers. P.S. While my photos are from the Frances (necessarily) please don't limit yourself to this Camino.

Through fault of my own and over-reliance on (badly used) technology I went off piste at the road turnoff for the saddle pass over the Pyrenees but eventually found my way back onto the Frances (the Camino provides). This series is from my (optional) detour.

From ValCarlos Route Sept 2018, , except the double marker it's as you approach Portomarin (supplied by another forum member, I regret not taking that photo, thankfully someone else did.)

My pictures, except one, are from last autumn's Caminos Catalan and Aragonese.

The first arrows out of Barcelona. Near the Velodrome.


Lots of ways to go.


No, this is NOT the way to Compostela.


Yellow is the Camino Catalan, orange is the Camino Ignacio.


Do I rest or do I walk?

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

My camino continued.

Another temptation (or is it two?)


A fence and gate to contain cattle with a couple arrows to let you know that you could enter. In the foothills of the Pyrenees.


On the Aragonese.


At the end of the Aragonese I stayed a night at Puente la Reina and then walked to Pamplona on the CF. It was snowing on top of the Alto de Pedron.

One of my favourites, seen in Riego de Ambros, Camino Francés:

Here is one from 2014 when I walked on the CF. My wife is from Mexico. I sent this photo to my Mexican family and they loved it!

You got there before me (well done), my next topic features photos of abandoned shoes on the Camino.

This one was on the Ruta de la Lana between Alpera and Alatoz in Albacete province. It's a copy of an arrow in a prehistoric (c5000BC) cave painting found near Alpera.

Loved this

Just past Burgos. They put the arrow on something that has been there for a while and hopefully will remain for a while longer:

Here are a few of my favorites, all taken by @jungleboy on our three Caminos together. The first two are from the Camino de Madrid, the third is from the Camino Francés, and the fourth, covered in snails, is from the very wet Camino Primitivo.

Questionable precision.

Actually it seems to be quite precise. In Spanish, commas are used as decimal points, so it's 373 kilometers and a bit.

Precise indeed, to the metre!

I think I have two mile post photos on the Forum.
