Is it true that the more creative the signage the more Pilgrims are influenced to follow the directions?
Viaggiatorethis was about 2k from our Casa Rural, we kept walking... Also, one of the Camino's unwritten rules, when entering a village, skip the 1st Bar/Café it is always the worst in town! (unless the town is so small, it only has one café!)
Good morning from Las Herrerias stream
