    Tips

    The stones placed here at the base of the so-called "Shepherd's Cross" are reminiscent of the "Cruz de ferro" (iron cross) - well known among pilgrims - on Monte Irago on the "Camino Frances". Many pilgrims who walk the Camino de Santiago take a stone with them and put it there. This stone symbolizes the burdens and hardships of the pilgrims (or their family members and friends at home), who can symbolically throw away their worries at this point with the stone and thus be free to move on. The CRUZ DE FERRO is available on komoot as a hiking highlight here: komoot.de/highlight/4346919

      Small wayside cross - not necessarily worth a detour - but you can pass it directly.
