Special sign

[Tulle]

I am now walking Camino Primitivo and several places have I seen this sign. Does anyone know what it means?

I fear just some idiot who leaves his personal graffiti tag...?

It means that some inconsiderate idiot walked the Camino before you.

A spiral blue arrow indicates the reverse route. Usually it is on the back of the mojone.

Thank you! I couldn’t open the Spanish article but I got the idea what it all was about

I don’t think this had something to do with a reverse route. It was painted on stones, trees etc.

It is simply a grafiti, I think.

Okay, here is my analytical take. The underlying symbol appears to be an infinity sign, the sort of flattened number eight (8).

The arrow leading upwards, away from infinity IMHO, likely means "Onward to Infinity..." At least that is one plausible explanation...

One might make the case that conceptually, this could fit the Camino... think on it for a moment...

Hope this helps the dialog...

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!

Or maybe in the immortal words of Buzz Lightyear "To Infinity and beyond! “

I couldn't get the article at your URL but I did find it at
https://www.elprogreso.es/articulo/...el-camino-primitivo/20140807100100319749.html

The article was written in August 2014.

Most likely just an unneeded graffiti but could be understood also as:
"Not all who wander are lost".

Maybe?
