Route of nature and ethnography that begins next to the house of culture in Santa Eulalia de Oscos.
We leave in the direction of Millarado crossing a wooded area characterized by the presence of oaks, birches and pines, after which we reach a cattle farm (Millarado). After As Poceiras we descend the slope and cross a bridge over the river Barcia that will allow us to ascend to Vega del Carro where we pass next to the chapel consecrated to Nuestra Señora del Carmen, built with stone, wood and slate with the characteristic yew tree guarding it. On a path between mountains and river, we arrive at the confluence (forcón) of the rivers Villanueva and Barcia, which gives its name to the route. After crossing the inner road of the Oscos submerged in the forest that closes the Villanueva river with the presence of alder, ash, willow and hazelnut trees, we arrive at A Valía, of special ethnographic value, cradle of the Lombardía, who were watchmakers and inventors. After crossing San Julián and Caraduxe, we arrive at Ferreirela de Riba, where we find the old House of the Lombardero; continuing straight ahead on an asphalt road, we leave on the left a small path that leads to Ferreirela de Baxo where we find the Museum Casa Natal del Marqués de Sargadelos, a faithful recreation of the traditional housing of the Oscos and the peasant life in the region. In a few minutes we will be back at the starting point.
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 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.
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 starts in Piantón, a charming village that was once the capital of the council, located about two kilometers from Vegadeo in which we recommend a walk around the square and a visit to the church. We cross the so-called Roman Bridge and take the path to the left towards Arcilo. The path begins with a slight ascent through a deep eucalyptus forest mixed with remnants of native vegetation: chestnut, holly, laurel, … fed by numerous streams.
The route starts in the town of A Espía (Vegadeo) and is accessed through the AS-11 road that connects Vegadeo with Los Oscos.
The itinerary begins in the village of A Revoqueira, three kilometers from San Martín.
