What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
This is probably my weirdest find.
I'm no prude but this is a step too far for me.
Is the women's toilet in the brand new bar beside the new albergue at El Carracalejo
 
HAH! I had forgotten how bizarre it was for me to see this at Fatima!

A group of pilgrims walking the Camino with 14 dogs. Granon 2017.

Not as bad as you think. They were a charity raising awareness of abuse to dogs. They had a support van, so each dog only walked as far as it wanted each day. They slept in a huge tepee every night with a woodstove. They were wonderful, and so were the dogs. Everyone fell in love with them all and they were given many treats by locals and pilgrims alike. They stayed in the field part of the Granon albergue. I think they did 10 -15km a day. I was in doggy heaven!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Saw these coming out of Sarria. I was not sure if they where art or what.

Nope, and pretty pleased about that

Perhaps the oddest object I have seen on any camino is this large piece of "folk art" located on the Camino Portuges at Lugar San Amaro 6 on the N-550 between Pontevedra and A Portela.

The Gronze Camino Portugués guidebook does not mention this curious relic.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
In Japan on the Shikoku 88 pilgrimage you pass through the small village of Nagoro which is almost entirely populated by life-like dolls. It's both bizarre and touching at the same time. They're placed on benches, in fields and etc just as ordinary people would be going about their business.
