From the municipal capital we go to the exit of the town towards Galicia, finding ourselves on the right hand side with the San Isidro square in whose center is the chapel with the same name, coinciding with the starting point of the route.
We will follow the asphalt road to Vilela de Abajo stretch in which we will observe the municipal capital in the area known as El Llano, seated on a valley surrounded by gentle mountains, crossed from SW to NW by the course of the river Eo, riverbed around which the history and life of the municipality has developed. Already in Vilela we will turn left to enter a dirt track surrounded by forest that brings us closer to the stream of Ramalledo, responsible for watering numerous forests of native flora that settle along its course. Once we go up the stream we reach the area known as Pena do Encanto where a mysterious waterfall flows between water and stone, where the legend of an enchanted lady who comes out of the rock with a golden comb every night of San Juan to bewitch whoever sees her still beats. From this place we start the way back on our steps, arriving at a crossroads where we must turn right to start a slight ascent to Vilela de Arriba, a village through which we must pass before arriving back to the starting point.

We begin the route in San Martín de Oscos where we can see the parish church, with a Latin cross plan, large porticoed space and inscription of 1828. To the right of the facade we observe one of the most characteristic hórreos of the Oscos with a mixed roof (slate and straw), which corresponds to the primitive models. In front of the church we have the mansion of the Guzmanes, an old manor house of the XVIII century, which preserves in the portico of its main entrance a coat of arms carved in stone. We cross the bridge that crosses the San Martín river to begin the ascent to Mount Marón, entering a small forest of birch and oak trees, which make our walk even more pleasant.

The route begins in the recreational area of Pumares; we cross the road and head parallel to the river to Pumares, a village of old ferreira activity, where we can still see the remains of an old mallet. From here, along a marked path, and leaving the river Agüeira to our left, we continue a slight ascent into a legendary forest characterized by riparian species (alders, ashes, willows, and hazelnut trees) and by oaks and chestnut trees that with their whimsical shapes are true monuments.

The route starts in San Cristobal, a place where we find numerous samples of popular architecture in its purest state, giving us the sensation of having gone back several centuries in time. From its chapel we see the valley of Rio Ahio covered with a beautiful blanket of native forest that dazzles us with its typical colors.
