Looking for a Mural on the Camino

[amyshmn]

Hello fellow Pilgrims! I walked the Camino Frances in 2021 and remember fondly a mural painted on the back of a building which depicted, if I recall correctly, a dashed line of the Camino Frances route with a stick figure in different positions as he/she walked the route. I remember the stick figure being hunched over (presumably with the weight of the backpack) in the beginning, and eventually by the end the stick figure was running. I loved that mural and have thought about it often - wishing I had taken a photo. But at the time I think I was that hunched over pilgrim just trying to put one foot in front of the other

Does anyone know the mural I'm referring to? I don't recall where I was along the route. I just remember it was on the right side of the trail. My memory recalls being in somewhat of a wooded area, but I'm not as certain about that anymore. If anyone has a photo of that mural and can send it to me, I'd really appreciate it!

Here is one I'd taken. Could it be the one you are looking for; leaving Logrono.

Ah that's lovely but unfortunately not it. But thank you for sharing it!!

I don’t recall that one, but these are
On. Wall side-by-side.

I believe it was on an Albrgue between Sahagun and Leon if it is this one. It was a rather large Albergue but I didn't get the name. I was struck by it as well. I thought it depicted the evolution of a pilgrimage well.

Bingo!

Just a quick note. For those who wonder why anyone would walk the same route again, this is a perfect example. Two people can walk the same route and notice entirely different things, or the same person can walk the same route on different occasions and notice different things each time. Sahagun to Leon was precisely the section of the Meseta I walked this year (between the Madrid and San Salvador Caminos) and somehow I completely failed to notice this.

It's attached to Albergue La Perala in Bercianos Del Real Camino.

It's the first albergue on the right hand side as you approach, just on the outskirt. No bunk beds. Single beds with linen. Six beds to a room with attached bath/ shower. Great restaurant attached. Nice grassy areas to lounge outside.

That’s the one!! Thank you so much MikeLynch22 - it’s a Christmas miracle! Or a very helpful and engaged Camino forum . And thank you to everyone who posted their murals pics - I really enjoyed seeing them especially as another person posted, we don’t all see the same things on the same route.
