Bemposta marks a curious detour in the camino's course. After crossing the N1, the route climbs to the historical centre, passes underneath a house (well marked), descends back to the N1, and crosses over again. The road then turns north through the heavily developed area of Besteiros-Travanca. Traffic here is rarely aware of pilgrim traffic — stay alert.
Bemposta represents a curious turn in the camino from what would be a natural course north. After crossing the N1, you climb to the historical center of town and then back down to the N1 by passing underneath a house (well marked). At the N1, you cross back over. The road turns right (now heading north) and through a mixture of residential and industrial buildings in the area known as Besteiros/Travanca. This area is heavily developed and although traffic is not excessive it is seldom aware of pilgrim traffic. Keep your wits about you.
