On the way out of Redondela , past the railway bridge, the Way enters a forest.
Road signs lead up to the ruins of one of the post stations that dotted the way.
Sotoxusto lies nearby. Arcade via the streets of Lavandeira, Cimadevila, Velero, Barrancos and Coutada and come to historic Pontesampaio. The route leaves the bridge and travels through Pontesampaio climbing up the narrow, stony street that leads off to the left, away from the town centre. This leads onto Vrea Vella da Canicouba, an ancient paved road. An asphalt road takes us to Pontevedra .
