Continuing along the path we descend to the vicinity of the Agüeira River, which accompanies us to “As Barreiras” where it takes the waters of the Vilanova River. Already in Ferreira and after a walk through the village we cross the Agüeira River by a beautiful stone bridge that leaves us close to the tourist area, where we can rest or perform all kinds of water activities. We continue with a slight ascent that passes through As Talladas and takes us to the area of the Carmina mine. This mine has been exploited for the last time in the 50’s and 60’s, extracting from it important quantities of mineral formed by silver, zinc and lead. From the place where the old cable car that transported the ore to San Martin was installed, we start the way back, following a path that runs halfway up the slope allowing us unbeatable views of the entire valley. We cross the Vilanova River over a wooden bridge in a wooded area, where alders, chestnut and oak trees shelter the walker who gets lost under their canopies. We pass Caraduxe and Ferreirela de Riba to reach our starting point.
