the yellow arrow appears*

*On the Camino de Santiago, informal and sporadic yellow arrows mark the path. It takes time and effort to learn how to look for them, how to train your eyes. The yellow arrows become a companion, guiding and affirming your journey. When you’re at a crossroads, you look for the yellow arrows. If you suddenly don’t see the yellow arrows, you stop, backtrack, and ask for help until you do.
