The Camino de Santiago monolith in Tardajos is actually a stone cross that stands as a symbolic landmark at the entrance to the town, just to the left of the road that connects to Burgos.

It is a tall stone cross, recently restored, that represents the area's Jacobean tradition.
It is located in a small garden square, visible from the French Way, and serves as a visual reference for pilgrims arriving from Burgos.
Although it is not a monolith in the strictest sense (like the granite cairns with the shell), it serves a similar function: marking the passage of the Way and welcoming walkers.
