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 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.

We start the walk in the old station of San Tirso de Abres, today restored for private housing, finding the first of the six tunnels just 300 m away, continuing next to the river Eo enjoying every moment of great panoramic views of the riverbed, of incalculable ecological and fish value, in which abound a large number of aquatic species, the most characteristic being trout, lamprey and salmon. Later the path crosses the N-640 road and leads us to an old power station built in 1932, located just before crossing another of the tunnels drilled in the rock, which leaves us close to the pedestrian walkway over the river Eo.
The route begins in Louteiro, which is accessed after taking a detour to the left shortly before leaving Vegadeo in the direction of Galicia. From the chapel of this village begins the route once used by pilgrims and pilgrims on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, who avoided the main roads to pass products from Galicia to Asturias.
The route starts in the center of Vegadeo in the area known as the Fondrigo, located at the exit to Galicia. From here we start the ascent to Miou, where we will find a crossroads where the path forks and we can go on either side, since from this point the route is circular.
