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.).
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 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.
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.
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.
Antiguo Camino de Santiago que acogía a los romeros llegados por la Ría del Eo.
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.
