A small chapel at a crossroads intersection. After passing it, the camino approaches Barcelinhos through a series of road manoeuvres — straight across a roundabout, past a car dealership, through a tunnel under the highway, and up to the N205.
After passing the small chapel in the center of the intersection of Santa Cruz, the camino nears the cities of Barcelinhos and Barcelos and the tangle of roads that encircle them. You will pass straight across a roundabout onto a road adjacent to a car dealership. The road looks like a dead-end but in fact narrows and turns right towards a tunnel underneath the highway. When it emerges, it climbs and winds slightly back up the N205, and turns right. The way into Barcelinhos is straight ahead.

You still have to walk towards the car dealership, but there’s now an official stone marker as well as a tile to guide along with the yellow arrows.
