Route of the Mazo de Meredo
- Vegadeo
- Circular route
- 13 km
- 4 hours
- half
The route starts in Piantón, a charming village that was once the capital of the council, located about two kilometers from Vegadeo in which we recommend a walk around the square and a visit to the church. We cross the so-called Roman Bridge and take the path to the left towards Arcilo. The path begins with a slight ascent through a deep eucalyptus forest mixed with remnants of native vegetation: chestnut, holly, laurel, … fed by numerous streams.
Arrived at Arcilo we turn off to the right continuing the road to Cobre, where we will find two possibilities to reach Meredo: a more direct way of 1.5 km and another of 3.5 km passing through El Foxo. Already in the area of Meredo we will descend until we reach the Mazo, where we can take the opportunity to regain strength in the recreational area that surrounds it and get closer to the tradition of iron and the use of water power by observing the mallet and the mill. Returning to the path again, we head for Arcilo, accompanied throughout the route by the Suarón River, which pours its waters tirelessly into the Eo estuary, noted for its important ecological and ornithological value. The route runs very close to the mansion of Sestelo, an emblematic building of the region. On the way back to Piantón we will have a good view of the valley, a very humanized landscape where we will be able to see meadows, farmland, reforestation, etc.

We start the walk in the old station of San Tirso de Abres, today restored for private housing, finding the first of the six tunnels just 300 m away, continuing next to the river Eo enjoying every moment of great panoramic views of the riverbed, of incalculable ecological and fish value, in which abound a large number of aquatic species, the most characteristic being trout, lamprey and salmon. Later the path crosses the N-640 road and leads us to an old power station built in 1932, located just before crossing another of the tunnels drilled in the rock, which leaves us close to the pedestrian walkway over the river Eo.
