We reach the municipality of Xunqueira de Ambía. We pass through the parish of Sobradelo and cross the XVIII century Roman road or Vía Nova, which joined Bracara Augusta (Braga) and Asturica Augusta (Astorga). A surprise nowadays is that this conserves the Roman milestones, marking distances in Roman miles (1 mile=1,480 metres).
