A Ponte Baxoi

A Ponte Baxoi is a small locality in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, on the Camino Inglés route approaching Betanzos. The name means the lower bridge, indicating a crossing of the Baxoi stream or a lower bridge compared to another nearby crossing, directly recording the river infrastructure that defined the locality.

The setting is the valley terrain approaching the Mandeo estuary and the medieval town of Betanzos, where the enclosed valley character of the interior begins to open slightly as the route nears the town. The stream crossing and the approach to Betanzos give the locality its navigational significance on the route.
