The route starts in the town of Tol. At the crossroads of the church of San Salvador, follow the signs to the parking area Fontequias, in the vicinity of the neighborhood of Cabaleiros.
After leaving the vehicle, we head up the mountain on a paved road. On the way, we will see one of the most important cattle ranches in Asturias in terms of head of cattle, production and prizes. If you are interested in approaching it, the owners will be pleased to help you. Leaving the place of Boudois behind, we find a dirt road on the right that leads to the mine. At this point, the asphalt gives way to a nice path that runs through lush vegetation along the left bank of the Boudois stream. Turning right at the next crossroads we can see the remains of the furnace of the old iron mine. At this point an explanatory panel tells us some curiosities about it. We continue ascending to finally reach the top of Mount Arbedosa from where we can see a panoramic view that will undoubtedly surprise the traveler for its spectacular and chromatic variety. The blue of the coast blends with the green of the coast that appears tinted with black and white specks that make up small villages. It is worth stopping for a moment in Arbedosa and play to discover in the distance corners like Penarronda beach. From this point the route continues along an unpaved dirt track that descends to take us to the starting point.

The route starts in Villanueva, capital of the council, from where we leave in the direction of Santa Eufemia where there is still a beautiful chapel of popular baroque style built between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that deserves to be visited. Continuing the itinerary along the road and after about three hundred meters of walking, we reach the Castañeira Bridge, and after crossing it we must take a path that goes off to the right, reaching a splendid birch forest next to the abandoned farmhouse of Abilleira.

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.
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.
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.
