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.
The route enters one of the best oak forests (Carbayo) in pure state of Asturias in which there are specimens of great size and shape. A few meters ahead we find an area of scrubland in which there are several types of heather characteristic of the region, as well as brooms and gorse with their typical colors that give good evidence of the time of year in which we are. Already in Xestoso and with similar characteristics to Salgueiras we begin a slight descent that takes us back into an impressive oak forest dotted with small groves of birch and chestnut trees, reaching the stream of Xestoso in which we can find a good example of riparian forest formed by alders, ashes and willows. With the help of a small wooden bridge we cross the stream and begin the ascent towards Salqueiras passing close to several farmhouses surrounded by their farms to finally reach the starting point.

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.
