Today, for the first time on a Camino I encountered some deliberate obliteration of the signs, normally arrows, pointing the way. I followed them and missed the village of Bercianos De Valverde and the authentic Camino to Santa Croya de Tera. It is alleged that the staff of Bar La Moña in Villanueva de las Peras are responsible, attempting to attract pilgrims to their business. The arrows certainly point there and various people, in 3 villages, have them at the top of the suspicious list! Doubtless St James will roast their souls when the time is right!
