Antiguo Camino de Santiago que acogía a los romeros llegados por la Ría del Eo.
Desde El Llano nos dirigimos hacia San Andrés y a pocos metros nos encontramos con el “Peto de Ánimas” del Paxarelo donde se inicia esta senda a orillas del Rio Eo. Discurre por un sendero fluvial que permite divisar la flora de rivera (alisos, sauces, fresnos) o contemplar el salto de truchas o salmones.
La ruta asciende hasta San Andrés, localidad en la que existió una mina de hierro y que hoy posee explotaciones agricolas y ganaderas dada la fertilidad del Valle del Eo.
La pendiente va aumentando ligeramente en el tramo final del recorrido y entre pinares y robledales el caminante llega a la Ermita de Prado. Desde allí el Camino de Santiago se adentra en tierras gallegas.
Una vez llegado al final de la ruta hay dos opciones: Regresar por la misma senda o desde Prado bajar hacia el rio Eo y alli nos encontraremos con la Ruta del Ferrocarril por la que volveremos a San Tirso.
The itinerary begins in Teixo, where after leaving the vehicle and passing the last houses we start an easy walk along the road that connects this town with Santa Marina, leaving it to the right by a wide dirt track that leads us after a slight descent to the Arroyo das Mestas.
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 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 route begins in the upper part of the village of Bres through a wide dirt road that leads to the Guxo mill, in excellent condition and also has in its vicinity a mini power plant.
The route is made up of two circular sections starting and ending in the center of Villanueva. The longer one, about 12 km, coincides in part with the forest route.
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.
