The First Waymark of the Via de la Plata

 

This tile on the wall of the building just across the street from the Cathedral marks the beginning of the route. The scallop shell, the ubiquitous symbol of El Camino, is stylized to indicate the direction of the route. The head of the shell points out a left turn here. I´m sure I have walked past these tiles hundreds of times without noticing them. As they started popping off the walls along the route, I felt like I'd been initiated into a secret society.
