We start the route in the beautiful village of Ferreira, one of the best preserved of the municipality, where we can admire the popular architecture of the area while walking along its narrow paths in the shade of centuries-old vines.
After crossing the village we begin the ascent towards Nonide, entering little by little in wooded patches of chestnut, oak and birch trees, which open up in small clearings allowing us to see the canyon of the river Agüeira in its rapid flow towards its mouth in the river Navia. Passing Nonide we begin a steep descent immersed in a large chestnut forest, on whose slopes we can see “cortines”, circular stone constructions that protect the hives from attacks by wildlife and fire. Soon we will reach the river Allonca that brings water from neighboring Galicia and pours into the river Agüeira in an area known as “ponte de A coba” ideal place to take a bath and continue with energy the ascent to La Coba and Coba; from here we border the mountain halfway up the slope between the heather, gorse and broom alternating with small copses of native trees, which will make us arrive back to Ferreira quickly and pleasantly. Back at the starting point we can not end the day without enjoying the tourist area of Ferreira where we can rest and practice water activities (canoeing, fishing, bathing, etc.).
