Thank you to yellow arrow painters

[OttawaWalker]

I am on the Portuguese Camino now and want to thank all the people who paint the yellow arrows all along this route (and other routes as well)

I just want whoever is responsible for the markings to know how much I appreciate them

Thanks
Josey

You´re welcome! Come back soon and join a crew and paint a few of your own!

how to join such a crew?

They really are well marked in Portugal: you notice the difference when you cross the river Minho into Tui
In fact I sent a note of congratulations to the Portuguese way-markers!
It can make such a difference to a camino to have clear arrows. So ... well done again, you markers!

@Via Lusitana and others, working hard to make the Caminho a better place.

your friendly neighborhood Amigos group, usually. Stop in at your local donativo pilgrim albergue and ask who does local waymarking.
It is usually just a pick-up thing, and depending on the trail often just two or three people update or freshen the waymarks as needed. Sadly, it´s the ambitious bar-owners and freelancers with brilliant ideas for "improvements" (let´s show them our pretty park/monument/statue VS. let´s make it more direct/alongside the highway) who often just go in with a brush or a stencil and send people into vales of confusion...

Hi Josey, we met you in Porto--going very slowly so only in Ponte de Lima tonight. The yellow arrows are great!
