A descent along the magical Ruta da Pedra e da Auga, a path winding between old mills and waterfalls as it follows the Armenteira river; then come the albariño vineyards, Ponte Arnelas and Ribadumia on the way to Vilanova de Arousa, a seafaring town that was the birthplace of Valle-Inclán and the port where the traslatio sets sail.
