Camino Photo of the Day: Which Way is The Way?

There is a rather infamous intersection that always trips me up. You’re walking a forest path, and it crosses a fairly major road. You see this sign with all its (mostly) left-pointing arrows. Just across the road is a yellow arrow pointing forward to continue along the forest road, rather than left. What do you do?

Well, it depends.

Are you planning to spend the night at O Pedrouzo? If so, head left.

Do you just want to forge ahead to Santiago? Cross the street and straight forward.

I’ve managed to mess this up pretty much every time I’ve passed this point. Once, I didn’t even see this sign at all!
