Our departure from Salceda this morning was very similar to the past mornings.
After breakfast we came upon a group of pilgrims with their guidebooks and maps out. After we got closer we saw what the discussion was all about. There were 2 monuments with conflicting directions. After the last time, we learned to follow the arrow with the km, not the c. complementario, unless you want a longer walk. The metal plates with that information had been pried off both of the monument markers. We have seen that information stolen on so many markers. Why??? With Steve’s app we determined the best way for us to go.
We also came upon a rock with a gold shield painted on it. It was unusual, and also one of the few monuments along the Camino that has not been defaced. We are going to try to find out it’s symbolism.
Near the Santiago airport we came upon a Santiago monument where we had another pilgrim take our picture.
Tomorrow we have a short day- about a 10.5 km walk into Santiago! Almost there.
