Old bridge that connects the two banks of the Eume River. The bridge flows directly into the center of the town of Pontedeume. We can see the arches of the railway bridge and small boats dotted in the port.

Pontedeume

Highlight • Settlement

The Santiago church is a historic stop along the old pilgrimage route, since the town got its name from the strategic long bridge across the Eume estuary, an engineering marvel at the time

Camiño do Inferniño 😈 to Santiago

Highlight • Trail

The Camiño to Santiago de Compostela comes down this almost vertical narrow 'road to hell', even too steep to push a bike up. If going east you better take the slightly less steep road heading straight.
