There have been some artists at work, resulting in graffiti along the Way. We'll share some of our favorites with you. The works fall into three categories:
1. Typical "Bob was here" or "Guido loves Maria" or " for a good time call..." These we are not so interested in capturing for posterity. Also not captured are typical gang-esque tagging.
2. Political statements, made by those who appear to have some anger issues towards the current Spanish government. We were aware that entire regions are interested in independence, but the feelings are stronger than we anticipated - on both sides. We have photographed some of the more family-friendly sentiments. Also of interest: we find these messages written in English and in Spanish.
3. Supportive art & words of encouragement, by both locals (we assume) and pilgrims (the attribution is more obvious).
