      There are so many stones in here, put on another one and probably ten others will fall down.

        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 Monte Irago on the “Camino Frances” (in Astorga, Leon province, Spain). Many pilgrims who walk the Way of St. James take a stone with them and place it there. 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 hiking highlight here:
