Using a local direction sign and adding a yellow Camino arrow. Looks a little odd but makes perfect sense.

The old, beloved Camino yellow arrows are being replaced by more modern signs.
The Galicians love their horreos. In this trip we have seen ones with thatched roofs, which we had not seen before. This is a small decorative one but we have seen full-sized ones with thatched roofs. We heard that old, authentic ones are valuable, with up to $20,000 or more.
Yet another style of nutcracker.
Wanna buy a lake property in Galicia? It looks made-made. We heard a loud chorus of frogs as we were passing by. One phone number for locals and another for international buyers.
A beautiful field we passed.
On the trail.
A pilgrim rest and vending area with nice tables and benches. It even had, on the left, a microwave and a toaster oven. The sign said feel free to use the facilities even if you don’t buy anything.
For a moment I thought the sign said trashasaurous and might have been pointing to a new found dinosaur skeleton.
Wynette seems suspicious of that stone bridge. . And I wonder how much they are selling the land for.
Wynette has been reading about the difficulties with bureaucracy in Spain that makes things like purchasing land hard. Also I seem to remember reading that they recently added huge taxes on foreign land purchases.
I noticed all the cigarette butts in the “nutcracker” photo. Locals or pilgrims (or both)?
Probably both. We have seen people eating and having coffee outside in cold and windy conditions. Usually it’s because they want to smoke. This includes pilgrims. On the trail a few days ago a pilgrim passed us and he was smoking as he was hiking. He was soon gone being way faster than us. Of course he was probably 40+ years younger.
