The direction to Santiago is marked by the yellow arrow. Rarely, does it include as much information as this sign, but is just the simple arrow indicating the direction for the pilgrim to go. These marker might be on posts, walls, or simply painted on the pavement. One stays alert, particularly in urban areas, for the next arrow which might indicate continuing straight on or that it's time to turn. Faith propels you onward believing you're on the right path. Seeing the next marker confirms you're still heading on the intended route. The Camino Portugués is particularly well signed making a wrong turn still possible, but not too likely. And if one does miss an arrow, usually because of one distraction or another, it is quickly corrected with little lost.
