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.
After leaving the vehicle, we head up the mountain on a paved road. On the way, we will see one of the most important cattle ranches in Asturias in terms of head of cattle, production and prizes. If you are interested in approaching it, the owners will be pleased to help you. Leaving the place of Boudois behind, we find a dirt road on the right that leads to the mine. At this point, the asphalt gives way to a nice path that runs through lush vegetation along the left bank of the Boudois stream. Turning right at the next crossroads we can see the remains of the furnace of the old iron mine. At this point an explanatory panel tells us some curiosities about it. We continue ascending to finally reach the top of Mount Arbedosa from where we can see a panoramic view that will undoubtedly surprise the traveler for its spectacular and chromatic variety. The blue of the coast blends with the green of the coast that appears tinted with black and white specks that make up small villages. It is worth stopping for a moment in Arbedosa and play to discover in the distance corners like Penarronda beach. From this point the route continues along an unpaved dirt track that descends to take us to the starting point.
From the municipal capital we go to the exit of the town towards Galicia, finding ourselves on the right hand side with the San Isidro square in whose center is the chapel with the same name, coinciding with the starting point of the route.
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 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.
Its fourteen kilometers allow us to enjoy the water and its use for centuries in the rural environment. From the lower part of Taramundi we take a road that leads us to Mazonovo, where we can visit the Museum of Mills.
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.
Esta ruta circular recorre buena parte del valle del río Cabreira, combinando caminos de montaña en la ida y de fondo de valle en la vuelta. Se inicia junto al hotel La Rectoral, tomando el camino que asciende entre el arbolado hacia la Sierra de Eiroá. Sin llegar a alcanzar su cumbre nos desviamos hacia el pueblo de Piñeiro, para llegar a él en suave descenso y disfrutar de su arquitectura tradicional y cabazos alzados al cielo.
