The bridge at Arante marks the low point of the day and the beginning of the terrain that defines Galicia — a relentless series of ascents and descents where level ground is a rumor. The camino turns sharply right after the bridge and climbs to the mountaintop before descending the far side into Villamartín Pequeño.

The Camino:

The bridge here is the low point of todays walk and from here the camino begins a series of ascents and descents which are to become the de facto terrain in Galicia where level ground is seldom to be found. After the bridge the camino turns sharply right up a path and begins a climb to the top of the mountainside. It spends little time at the top before descending the other side into Villamartín Pequeno.
