Las Estrellas del Camino mural in Reading (St James Way)

Too many and too often!
Those of us who have walked the Camino Frances or the Camino Portugues in the past couple of years have probably noticed the series of very large murals representing "Las Estrellas del Camino" and sponsored by a well known beer company. Very hard to miss. An article on a local news website for Reading (England) reports that one has appeared on the side of a building in the town - part of a series to be created along the Camino Ingles and its English extension the St James Way which marks a historic pilgrimage connection between the town and Santiago de Compostela. This mural is a large image of Heather Small - an English singer who appeared in the first of the BBC "Pilgrimage" series following a group of UK celebrities on a journey to Santiago. I'd be interested to learn if anyone has spotted any other recent murals in this proposed Camino Ingles series. Nothing about them on the company's website for the project.
