Route of the Mills

Buscador

The route begins in the upper part of the village of Bres through a wide dirt road that leads to the Guxo mill, in excellent condition and also has in its vicinity a mini power plant.

The route continues along a small path leaving the stream on the right until you reach a wooden bridge that we must cross to start the ascent through a chestnut grove to reach the Chao do Cobo, an area where it is common to find traces of wild boar. The path continues ascending through Cabaza until reaching the Teixo, crossing meadows and small oak forests. From the top of Teixo, on clear days, the views of the north of the council (Sela de Entorcisa, Sela de Fabal, etc) are unbeatable. The itinerary passes through Brataramundi and after a steep descent we reach the Molino Viejo and the Molino de Nela, both of which are in a bad state of preservation due to disuse. These hydraulic mills were once used to grind corn, wheat, oats and rye, cereals used to feed people and animals. From this point a slight ascent begins by a nice path in which oaks and blueberries abound on both sides, arriving at a wider dirt track that in descending sense takes us to the starting point.
