    This is the Iron Cross of Hornillos del Camino. Custom has it that everyone carries a stone along the way and leaves it at the foot of this cross so as to represent the abandonment of a worry or pain. We have brought and left our stones.

    The Cross of Hornillos del Camino, also known as the Iron Cross, is an important monument on the Camino de Santiago. It is customary for everyone to carry a stone with them along the way and leave it at the foot of this cross.
    This tradition symbolizes letting go of burdens and leaving worries behind. It is a powerful symbol of the spiritual journey that pilgrims undertake on the Camino de Santiago.
