None yet; perhaps the Portugese (2021?)
My apologies if someone's already posted this; haven't noticed it. Today in the English-language Portugal News there was a story, echoing some of the regional Portuguese-language ones I've seen lately, about new mapping/marking/etc. for the Fatima routes. They point out that for the main one, what they call the "Northern Route," the designated Way is the reverse, as far south as Fatima from the north in Valenca, of the Santiago Way. Similarly, looking at their maps, from Lisbon to Santarem, heading north, the two routes coincide!

Some excellent maps with good references...note that the website is set up to contain information for the Portuguese Ways to Santiago as well, but that information hasn't been posted as yet...a work in progress! Information is currently available in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and apparently they are working on Italian and German as well.
