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.).
This is a circular route of about 7.5 km that starts and ends in the village of San Martín de Oscos. We start the route next to the tourist office going up to A Bouza, where we will contemplate an exceptional view of the village.

Escondida entre montañas y bosques del occidente asturiano, la Cascada del Cioyo es uno de esos lugares que parecen sacados de un cuento. El sonido del agua al caer, la vegetación exuberante que la rodea y la paz del entorno hacen de este rincón un destino ideal para quienes buscan conectar con la naturaleza. Una caminata entre árboles, pequeñas cascadas y paisajes que invitan a parar y respirar. Al final del recorrido, la gran cascada del Cioyo se abre paso con fuerza entre la roca, regalando una imagen de belleza salvaje difícil de olvidar.
Iniciamos la ruta en el pueblo de Piorno, que se recomienda recorrer porque conserva excelentes muestras de arquitectura tradicional de los Oscos en piedra, pizarra y madera.
The route starts in the square of Sta. Eulalia de Oscos descending to the lower part of the village and continuing along a beautiful path surrounded by native forest that leads us to Ferreirela de Baxo, a place where it is worth stopping and visiting the Museo Casa Natal del Marqués de Sargadelos.
