an anonymous artist who aims to make the route more enjoyable and confirm the
pilgrims who have not been lost using the "language" of the old landmarks
The Camiño de
Inverno towards
Os Alvaredos, a town in the
province of
Lugo bordering A Rúa,surprise pilgrims
on their
journey through this last
municipality to discover paintings on rocks and
trees in
bright colors,
primarily yellow, blue and
red. This
call Walker's eyes, she
makes him
pause, a smile and reflect on its
meaning. The curiosity of this stretch of

Arias , president
of the Association Amigos do Camiño of Santiago de Valdeorras , he
knows the anonymous artist, but stresses that not reveal the secret identity as
"non Quere it be known". However, it does explain the meaning of the
paintings that blend with nature.
A parrot in the treesAsuncion Arias
argues that, according to the author, the paintings on the rocks are to
remember the milestones (permanent signal or stone cairn). Reports that in the
old ways, long ago, in places that are considered sacred three stones as a
triangle (one on the wide base, a smaller and topped by another undersized) to
delimit were placed. And "Cando or pilgrim walking vai eo Camiño pode
present some dúbida, your own pilgrims lay three Pedriñas own cairn to see
behind decirlle or vai ben, which is not a correct path".

antiquity, as seen for example in the Caves of Altamira, basic colors were
royal blue, red and yellow colors "moi mystics, as do sacred heart
coñecidos or chama triune. Or é a divine blue vontade, or roxo eo é a life
spirit, eo amarelo, to wisdom. Cando join or are formed chama to cor violet,
which means transformation and transmutation. " Therefore, each touch of
this art and nature Inverno Road is based.

seems too
good an artist to express freely:
"everything is
art or eu or
applaud" and at the same time, pilgrims have a
reference to know that go
through
the right
paths.
