Ponte de Augapesada
Structure
Situada na parroquia de Ames está a ponte de Augapesada, unha ponte de orixe medieval. Está no trazado do antigo Camiño Real de Santiago a Fisterra. Permite atravesar o regueiro de Augapesada, que desemboca no Sar. Ten un arco central de medio punto e unha calzada de grandes lousas de pedra. Aponte quebra na vertical do centro do río, formando dúas pendentes,que descenden cara as orillas do regueiro. Actualmente o camiño non cruza a ponte, si non que pasa polo seu lado porque co paso do tempo foronse construíndo casase rúas, o que fixo que a ponte quedara sin saída por un dos extremos. Esta información foi sacada de Internet desta páxina en concreto: concretohttp://patrimoniogalego.net/index.php/3521/2011/08/ponte-de-aguapesada/, e tamén do que vimos nos ao visitar a ponte.

Camiño Portugués e Capela da Madalena
Place
~Camiño Portugués~ Empeza en Lisboa e remata en Santiago.A etapa do Milladoiro é a última etapa do camiño portugués,que vai de Padrón a Santiago pasando polo Milladoiro. Os peregrinos ao ver ao lonxe as torres da catedral humillabanse ante Deus para pedir perdón dos seus pecados pois xa alviscaban a súa meta.Unha teoría di que o nome do MIlladoiro proven da palabra humilladoiro (arrodillarse) , Miliarios que ven do romano que eran pedras que servian para delimitar e separar as diferentes vias que en aquela epoca enlazaban as diferentes rexions e provincias existentes ~Capela da Madalena~ Ubicase nunha pequena praza na rua da Madalena,no casco urbano do Miladoiro que pertenece a parroquia de Santa María de Biduido.

St Jame's Way in Ames
Place
St James' Way to Finisterre is an epilogue of St James' Way that links Santiago with the cape of Finisterre. It can also finish in Muxía, making the route a few kilometres shorter. St James' Way to Finisterre is the only route that, instead of finishing in Santiago, starts there. It's origin is unknown, but, it is attributed to the pagan pilgrimages before the Christianization. In Finisterre was said to be the place where the Ara Solis was located. The Ara Solis was an altar in which pagans worshipped the sun, It was related to ancestrial fertility rituals and the Roman soldiers used to ge there to see the sun hide in the sea. St James' Way to Finisterre began to be used after the remains of James the apostle were foun, in the 13th century, however, it was used before by pagans but the Christianization changed its use. In the 3rd book of the Codex Calixtinus, which tells how the apostle was brought to Santiago from Jerusalem, there appears a place called Dugium, which is said to have submerged in the sea, well, it is located in Finisterre. Some pilgrims who have reached Finisterre have been the Hungarian George Grisaphan or the german Erich Lassota, in the 16th century. We also found some pilgrims, one German pilgrim and one Spanish pilgrim, from Seville. Both pilgrims didn't have enough time to stop and be interviewed so we only were ablo to get this information from them: -Both liked the Way. -The German pilgrim was going to Santiago and the Spanish one, to Finisterre. -Took a photo with them. -They were both friendly. The part of the Way located in Ames begins with the Alto do Vento, it continues and crosses the Rego dos Pasos in Augapesada, then, it pàsses through the Alto do Mar de Ovellas and nest to Transmonte's Church, it continues until it crosses the Tambre in Ponte Maceira. The part of the Way located in Ames is part of the Santiago-Negreira stage.
