It represents the faces of Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi, three universal figures of peace, science, and human rights.
It is accompanied by the yellow arrow, the symbol of the Camino de Santiago, making it a visual reference point for walkers.
It is located at the edge of the town, heading toward Hornillos del Camino, on a wall visible from the official Camino route.
