The route starts in the town of A Espía (Vegadeo) and is accessed through the AS-11 road that connects Vegadeo with Los Oscos.
The trail consists of a circular section of about 8.7 km long, with an estimated travel time of 2 hours and a half, and a linear route, optional, of 4.3 km and estimated time of an hour and a half, which presents a greater difficulty and that will take us to Pico Bedures. After parking we see the beginning of the route with a complete explanatory panel, we start the path towards Rego de Llu, where we can stop to see one of the mouths, we continue the journey through the mountains of Bedures, Lameira and Rubieira, the path runs halfway up the slope and offers excellent views of the sea and other villages in the vicinity. After completing the circle and arriving back to Espía we have the option to climb the Bedures Peak, it is a steep slope, but in the end the views from the summit reward us for the effort and we can regain strength in the recreational area of Bedures.

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.
From the municipal capital we go to the exit of the town towards Galicia, finding ourselves on the right hand side with the San Isidro square in whose center is the chapel with the same name, coinciding with the starting point of the route.
The route is made up of two circular sections starting and ending in the center of Villanueva. The longer one, about 12 km, coincides in part with the forest route.
In the Teixo and just behind the hostel starts the forest track along which begins the walk to the Alto de Ouroso. The path is wide and passable by all-terrain vehicles, so there is hardly any possibility of getting lost. The route runs comfortably between wide pastures, heaths and pine forests of repopulation to reach a landing on which there is a small lagoon where at mid-morning many horses come to this point to water and refresh themselves in the shade of the pines. The animals graze in a semi-wild state and require little attention from their owners, which is why the number of horses has increased considerably in recent years.
