RE: [ENG-SPN] The Geometry of Mystery: Nieva, Olmedo, and Ávila under the sign of the Soterraña / La Geometría del Misterio: Nieva, Olmedo y Ávila bajo el signo de la Soterraña

absolutely, the route teaches as much as it carries, turning each shrine into a threshold where myth and memory meet.
Those keys you mention trnasform the walker, like reading a stone book that opens page by page through Nieva, Olmedo, and Ávila.
By the end, what began as devotion becomes lived knowledge, and the triangle feels less like a map and more like a pathh that settles inside you.

Your right, that triangle stops being a map and becomes a pa;th that teaches while it carries. Each stop sharpens the eye, becuase the old stones and the Soterraña thread their signs into your own steps. By the end, the keys are inside, and the road feels like it’s reading you too.
Many symbols have been lost over time, being, metaphorically speaking, keys to connecting with one's inner self. That, ultimately, is another aspect of the pilgrimage paths: the external experience, overcoming trials and difficulties, and above all, the inner experience, which opens your eyes to your own essence and other states related to it. Nothing, therefore, was left to chance.
