Which side of the stream did you walk after Armenteira?

Just curious,

I didn't use an app, just trusted in the arrows and ended up the left side of the stream. Nice walk, nothing too steep, relatively smooth path, made for a relaxing time.
Then after my camino, looking at YouTube videos and blogs and I see images of a different path, on the right side of the stream. One with more rocks, more uneven terrain, closer to the water.

So left or right, which did you end up on?

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I am interested because I am preparing the costal Caminho.
On this map it seems that you should have the river on left hand first, then on right hand after rua Cabanelas bridge.
 
Are you talking about the Route of Stone and Water? If so, we followed the path on the right. It was stunning.
That I am. Didn't even know there was a right option until later.

On facebook, got me questioning, scenery aside, what is the physically easiest route to walk, comparing my photos and online pictures/youtube, I reckon it'll be the left.

All I know,, is that somehow some people end up on the right side before merging prior to the bridge. How?, I'm a bit interested too.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The left side, but can't remember why we chose it as it was five years ago.
Edit, I seemed to figure it out by looking at my photos, but it looks like we walked opposite the flow of the river.

Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Right side! Takes you past mill ruins and closer to the water. Path starts right at the road and is fairly obvious and marked. It eventually crosses to the left once the terrain levels out.
