Be warned that the two new routes into Portomarín from Vilachá are ridiculous and even slippery dangerous.
Until this year, the Camino just after leaving Vilachá made a right, crossed the small road that leads down to the highway and the Portomarín reservoir bridge, and just before the small cluster of trees in front of you made its way down to highway and bridge on a small (and steep) small paved road. Once on the highway, you then approached the bridge from the right.
With the changes this year, you now make a left on the road you encounter as you leave Vilachá and have two options:
Op. 1 takes you down a VERY steep rock path down to the highway and bridge (not recommended if raining)
Op. 2 takes you down the road and then along the backside of a series of buildings (many which look abandoned), into a mess of garbage and mud (not recommended if raining).
Both of these options take you to the highway and bridge, approaching from the left.
* Next time I go through, it's the old route for me, too 'dangerous', ugly, dirty and muddy on the new routes.
Buen Camino
