If you want to escape the busy road for a bit, bear left at the start of town and follow the arrows through the village. Doing so doesn’t add any distance to your journey but spares you 500m of the road.
When entering Puente de Villarente it is now the bridge, not the river; that poses the greatest threat to pilgrims. Be sure to follow the arrows before the road bridge, they will direct you towards a smaller pedestrian crossing which is a great deal safer.
