One of those typical marker crosses that can be found in many places on the Camino. Here pilgrims leave a stone that they picked up on the way, sometimes with a little message on it.

The stones piled up here at the base of the wayside cross are reminiscent of the “CRUZ de FERRO” (iron cross) – very well known among pilgrims – on the MONTE IRAGO on the “Camino Frances” (in Astorga, province of Leon). Many pilgrims who set out on the Way of St. James take a stone with them and place it there (or even here). Such a stone symbolizes the burdens and needs of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who symbolically cast off their worries at this point with the stone and can thus move on free of them.
The CRUZ DE FERRO is available on komoot as a cycling highlight at the following link
