We are dependent on both the yellow fleches and way marker posts ,typical of the Camino. Also, The CSJ Guide to the Camino Ingles ,writtenbyJohnnieWalker. However, some points of interes are not included, maybe for reasons of space,or considered too trivial. However, on a trail through the countryside close by Ordes we encountered some remarkable sculptures and statues,plus , incongruously enough, a Dinosaur. There were more orthodox artefacts,commonly seen on this route, cruiseros and horreos, i.e, crucifixes and traditional Galician barns constructed above the ground to safeguard winter corn from rats et al.
There were other, locally made signposts along the way, fashioned from a variety of materials.
When walking long distances, light hearted asides and distractions are always welcome, as are chance encounters with other pilgrims and local people.
