Best Hikes to Camino de Santiago Kilometer Marker 260.5 – León

Tips

  • Signage on the Camino de Santiago is essential for pilgrims.
    Yellow arrows: These arrows will guide you throughout the entire route. They indicate the direction to follow, especially at crossroads. The yellow color is due to the contribution of the parish priest Elías Valiña, a key figure in the resurgence of the Camino de Santiago in the 20th century.
    Cairns or milestones: These concrete blocks include an arrow, a yellow shell on a blue background and the distance in kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. You will find them every 500 meters in Galicia.
    Scallop shells: In addition to being drawn on the markers, scallop shells are distributed throughout the Camino. They are universal symbols and have been carried by pilgrims for centuries. The open part of the shell indicates the direction towards Santiago.
    Good way! 🚶‍♂️🌟

  • This signpost (also a mile marker indicating the remaining distance to the major pilgrimage destination) is just a stone's throw away from a wayside cross (also available as a hiking highlight in the komoot system), see =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/4818590
