These direction indicators are blue: the standard colour used to signpost the Cam\u00ed de Sant Jaume (Way of St. James) throughout Europe. The signs are also marked with the scallop shell symbol. The Cam\u00ed de Sant Jaume from Montserrat is also signposted with the typical yellow arrow indicators used along all of the other parts of the Way of St. James. In Catalonia, these signs have been painted by members of the Associaci\u00f3 d\u2019Amics del Cam\u00ed de Sant Jaume (Association of Friends of the Way of St. James) of Sabadell. Given the diversity of the people who have done this work, it is possible to find a range of different sign styles and sizes, but they are all yellow and have an arrow. If you follow the signs, they will lead you to Santiago de Compostel\u00b7la. It is also important to bear in mind the fact that the Way is like a living entity: it is constantly adapting to changing circumstance (new roads and buildings, industrial areas, etc.). As a result, you are recommended to follow the arrows and, when in doubt, to ask local people the way to avoid getting lost.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] EQUIPMENT &nbsp; Essential Documentation:\u00a0National Identity Document, Social Security Card and the Pilgrim\u2019s Credential. How to prepare your rucksack:\u00a0Travel light, never carrying more than 10 kg. If possible, your rucksack should not weigh more than 10% of your total body weight. Do not take any unnecessary objects; you will be able to acquire almost everything that could need at one of the towns or cities along the way. Make sure your rucksack is comfortable and comfortably adapted to your body, with waist and chest straps and external pockets. This will allow you to take things out of your bag and put them in it without too much bother. Put things in your rucksack in an orderly way. It is a good idea to use different coloured plastic bags to make things them easy to find and prevent them getting wet. What footwear to use:\u00a0Never use new footwear. Your boots should be adapted to your feet and comfortable. They should fit well around your ankle and have a good sole. It is not necessary to take a change of footwear with you, but you should carry some flip-flops to allow your feet to relax at the end of the day. The scallop shell:\u00a0This is the most significant symbol for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. It was already considered the emblem of St. James back in the 13thcentury. Pilgrims acquire their shells at their destination. On returning to their points of origin, they normally carry them hanging from their waists, hats or bags. Pilgrims returning from Rome and Jerusalem used to do the same with keys and palm leaves, respectively.The origins of the scallop shell symbol are uncertain. The shell is similar to an open hand, which is a symbol of charity, but it could also be a symbol of birth etc. Clothing: Pilgrims should take relatively little clothing: two sets of everyday clothes, a pullover and something to give shelter from the wind. You should always have clean, dry socks. You are also recommended to carry some long, all-weather, trousers that are easy to put on and take off without the need to take off your shoes, as well as a wide-brimmed hat to protect your rucksack (if you have a wide-brimmed hat, it is possible to leave behind other weather protection). If your pilgrimage continues as far as Fraga, Zaragoza, or even further, you should carry some soap powder to wash your clothes. You should wear a cap or hatespecially when it is hot and sunny. Sleeping bag:\u00a0Take a sleeping bag if you are thinking of taking advantage of the places where travellers can stay. In summer, your sleeping bad should be quite thin. A foam rubber mat is a good travel companion. Although a good choice of route may mean that you will not need to use it, it is an essential part of your equipment, particularly if your route will take you as far as Santiago. So do not think twice; take it in your rucksack. First-aid kit: It is advisable to carry only the bare essentials: sticking plasters, scissors, adhesive tape, cotton and\/or elastic bandaging, anti-inflammatory cream, aspirin or paracetamol, a disinfectant (povidone iodine), sun protection cream and a remedy for blistered feet. It is best to buy everything you will need before setting off.

The first recommendation is to make sure that you are physically prepared to successfully undertake the pilgrimage. Doing the route on foot is within the possibilities of everyone; it is not necessary to have any special physical preparation to complete it. Even so, it is recommendable to do a few preparatory walks before setting off and to gradually walk a little further every day. If possible, it is also a good idea to do these walks with a full rucksack and in the boots that you plan to wear on the walk.\u00a0To fully enjoy the route, you should find some information about the route and the history of the Way of St. James. There are a number of published guides to the Way and it is possible to find plenty of bibliography about the art and history of the pilgrimages in order to get the most out of the cultural experience that this route offers. When is the best time of year to do the route?\u00a0The spring and summer months are"}
