Arzúa

In Carelle we find St Lorenzo Church and then, after passing along Corredoiras, we get to Boimorto, whose history is highly influenced by the nearby convent in Sobrado.
And almost immediately, we get to Arzúa, where the route joins the French and the Primitive Ways. From this junction, there is a unique way to the city of the Apostle, Compostela.

It links with Arzúa-Santiago from “El Camino de Santiago en España”.

At the exit of Arzúa, in As Barrosas, there is a chapel dedicated to SanLázaro, advocation common in the way the Lazaretto in memory of, care for pilgrims with contagious diseases.

And again Brea (sidewalk, road) ... And later, Rua (street) of dilapidated houses with stones ... to reach Arca, a name evocative of the ark, or chest that holds the remains of the Apostle in Compostela

Y otra vez Brea (vereda, camino)...Y más adelante, Rúa (calle) con casas de vetustas piedras... para llegar a Arca , nombre evocador del arca o cofre que guarda los restos del Apóstol en Compostela

MELIDE

Melide is already in the province of A Coruña. Through Melide, we get to the population Leboreiro , called Campus Leporarius according to the Codex of Calixtus. There is here a Romanesque church dedicated to St Mary and the old pilgrims’ hospital is also preserved. This hospital had an escutcheon of the Ulloas, who founded it. The modest Bridge of Disicabo with an only arch let us cross the Dry River (Río Seco).
Much more majestic is the medieval bridge over the river Furelos, which is near Melide.
