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.
The itinerary begins near the Town Hall, along a path that leaves the village towards the cemetery of the town, we continue towards the houses of El Río and arrive at Santa Eufemia, where we can make a stop to visit the Ecomuseum of Bread or rest in the recreational area. At this point begins the ascent to El Vale and Pena Grande through a native forest where we will enjoy the shade of birch, oak and holly trees. We continue towards the brañas of Lama, Chao de Bureiros and A Folgueirúa enjoying the magnificent views from the top. We descend the mountainside crossing the streams Morán, Ceilán and Vilanova river. On the verge of reaching the latter we can not fail to delight us with the contemplation of a magnificent cortín that gives us an idea of the importance that since ancient times had in the area the production of honey and wax. In San Mamed we are greeted by a charming wash house that invites us to stop and enjoy the magnificent examples of stone architecture. We cross the road and continue along the mountainside until we reach the village of Pacios, whose splendid architecture also deserves our attention. We continue through the oak grove of Pacios until we reach the road again, we continue along the road to Santa Eufemia and from here along the cemetery road to Villanueva. The short section, about 2 km long, begins next to the monastery of Santa María, ascending to Ovellariza and descending through a native forest towards the Riodepil stream, which we cross over a wooden footbridge, continue towards the Guieiro neighborhood and descend again towards Villanueva.
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.
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.
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.
The route starts in San Cristobal, a place where we find numerous samples of popular architecture in its purest state, giving us the sensation of having gone back several centuries in time. From its chapel we see the valley of Rio Ahio covered with a beautiful blanket of native forest that dazzles us with its typical colors.
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 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.
