Puente Arce is the river crossing point for those who can't (or won't) take the train from Boo. A newly marked alternate route now continues from here to Requejada without the northward loop to Mogro — watch for arrows at the junction after the bridge. This alternate follows near the N-611 through Oruña and Mar.
There is now an alternate route for the second half of this option, which goe from Puente Arce to Requejada without having to turn north to go to Mogro.

This alternate route will take you through Oruña and Mar before entering Requejada via Polanco.

The place is a good stopping point. Javier will take you to dinner, but you can get a meal or tapas in Arce before climbing up to the place. Breakfast is very good.

If you're taking the alternate route, there's a lovely pension, Posada Lunada, about 1km after the bridge in Oruña. The room comes with breakfast but there's no bars or restaurants around so you'll have to make plans for dinner. But the owner was really lovely and offered to drive me to a restaurant nearby that serves a pilgrim's meal which only cost €10!
