Hello, I need to know why the nomination is not valid.
If it is because of the location, because it is not located on the maps, I took the additional photo in which you can see an aceparada pokeparada.
If it is because of the type of site, other similar ones have already been accepted.
Could someone explain to me why it has been rejected?
Thanks and sorry to bother, but I need to know why

What criteria do you think this meets?
To me this looks like a basic outdoor picnic table - a generic object, nothing special. I would reject this as "The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting."
Don't look at existing Waypoints as examples of what can or should be accepted, rules have changed over the years. Read the criteria as they are now.
hello, I think it falls into this category, a good place to meet people.
In addition, all of them are on the Camino de Santiago, and are stops to rest and get to know each other and / or with the people of the town.
As you said, the criteria has changed and now it is easier to find a valid place for a stop, that's what I think.
Standard picnick tables generally do not fall under the criteria. But if you can show more about the place, for example if it is a official view spot, or if there is something else that makes the place more unique, like a sign, it can be
I concur with previous comments. A table and benches aren't really eligible on their own. As your examples show, they might actually be accepted, but that isn't (and shouldn't be) universal.
If you can prove that this table is an actual part of El Camino (like the scallop symbol painted on it) or that it has a social significance beyond being a simple table, it has a chance.
Individual picnic tables and benches are not and have never been eligible, even if in a park. If there are some that are Wayspots, then they were wrongly accepted. Which is why we repeatedly say to never use existing Wayspots as a guide for what is eligible and what is not.
Okay I'll give up for now
I also wanted to ask you something, this nomination has some possibility?
If theres a sign for a picnic area you could use that. If the picnic tables are in a park and you can show that its in a park but yet there is no sign for the park you might be able to get away with using the picnic tables as a marker for the park itself. Make sure to really beef up your supporting information and description though
Picnic tables are neither "always accept" nor "always deny." Picnic tables have never been clarified one way or another, outside of the typical "mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting" rejection reason, which even that can be subjective.
It's also important to remember 3.1 allows more leniency, not just to businesses:
Or for seemingly common objects like benches or phone booths, which if out of context/rare within it’s landscape, are actually pretty cool objects to explore.
