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.
The route enters one of the best oak forests (Carbayo) in pure state of Asturias in which there are specimens of great size and shape. A few meters ahead we find an area of scrubland in which there are several types of heather characteristic of the region, as well as brooms and gorse with their typical colors that give good evidence of the time of year in which we are. Already in Xestoso and with similar characteristics to Salgueiras we begin a slight descent that takes us back into an impressive oak forest dotted with small groves of birch and chestnut trees, reaching the stream of Xestoso in which we can find a good example of riparian forest formed by alders, ashes and willows. With the help of a small wooden bridge we cross the stream and begin the ascent towards Salqueiras passing close to several farmhouses surrounded by their farms to finally reach the starting point.
