The Symbols of the Camino
The main theme this year is Symbols of the Camino de Santiago. But, what are the Camino de Santiago symbols? Well, there are plenty of very different symbols, from typical signage elements like yellow arrows or milestones, to emblematic pilgrim elements like the scallop shells. A sculptures and monuments dedicated to the pilgrimage is also a symbol. As well as any cathedral, monument or town linked to the Camino de Santiago.
The images must allude to the Camino de Santiago, from any recognizable Camino element, to symbolic places or the presence of pilgrims.
If you’ve walked The Way, you probably have in mind many symbols that take you back to the Camino. Those are the symbols we are looking for. If to this you add a little imagination, creativity and take advantage of the beauty of the Camino, you have a recipe for success.
