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.
Continuing along the path we descend to the vicinity of the Agüeira River, which accompanies us to “As Barreiras” where it takes the waters of the Vilanova River. Already in Ferreira and after a walk through the village we cross the Agüeira River by a beautiful stone bridge that leaves us close to the tourist area, where we can rest or perform all kinds of water activities. We continue with a slight ascent that passes through As Talladas and takes us to the area of the Carmina mine. This mine has been exploited for the last time in the 50’s and 60’s, extracting from it important quantities of mineral formed by silver, zinc and lead. From the place where the old cable car that transported the ore to San Martin was installed, we start the way back, following a path that runs halfway up the slope allowing us unbeatable views of the entire valley. We cross the Vilanova River over a wooden bridge in a wooded area, where alders, chestnut and oak trees shelter the walker who gets lost under their canopies. We pass Caraduxe and Ferreirela de Riba to reach our starting point.
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.
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.
