The itinerary begins in the village of A Revoqueira, three kilometers from San Martín.
This town is characterized by a well-preserved popular architecture and a gentle orography with green meadows, where numerous cows and their calves graze. Shortly after we will find the native forest (oak, chestnut and birch trees) that accompanies us until we reach Mon. Here the walker will be amazed by the majesty of the Palace of Mon, an example of baroque and stately architecture of the region. We continue the walk along a cart track bounded by stone walls and “chantos” (slate slabs driven) adorned with mosses and ferns to reach the chapel of Santa Marina, a place worth stopping and look out over the valley of the river Ahío in the background of which shines the Mazo de Mon. We continue the descent to the mallet through a lush and centenary chestnut grove dotted with “corripas” (circular stone constructions to store chestnuts), until we reach the hidden mallet of Mon. In this privileged natural space we find the remains of the Mazo, next to the old irrigation channel, still perfectly preserved today. At this point and before starting the way back, along the same path, we must stop to take a breath and enjoy the Ahío river and the ecosystem that surrounds it, characterized by riparian forest in which alders, ash and willows bathe their roots. Halfway up we turn left to Ventosa to return to Revoqueira.
The itinerary begins next to the chapel of Salgueiras, located on the AS-27 road, 6 kilometers from Villanueva. Throughout the tour we must observe the environment around us: the houses, their attached buildings, orchards, meadows, farm implements, forests, to understand the way of life of the locals.
To start the route we will move to the village of Espasande and half a kilometer from here in the direction of Taramundi we will see an explanatory panel on the left hand side at the beginning of the route.
The trail starts at the entrance of the village, where we will find a suitable place to leave the car. After a few meters we will find an information panel that will give us a general idea of the itinerary.
The route starts in the center of Vegadeo in the area known as the Fondrigo, located at the exit to Galicia. From here we start the ascent to Miou, where we will find a crossroads where the path forks and we can go on either side, since from this point the route is circular.
