The itinerary begins in the village of A Revoqueira, three kilometers from San Martín.
This town is characterized by a well-preserved popular architecture and a gentle orography with green meadows, where numerous cows and their calves graze. Shortly after we will find the native forest (oak, chestnut and birch trees) that accompanies us until we reach Mon. Here the walker will be amazed by the majesty of the Palace of Mon, an example of baroque and stately architecture of the region. We continue the walk along a cart track bounded by stone walls and “chantos” (slate slabs driven) adorned with mosses and ferns to reach the chapel of Santa Marina, a place worth stopping and look out over the valley of the river Ahío in the background of which shines the Mazo de Mon. We continue the descent to the mallet through a lush and centenary chestnut grove dotted with “corripas” (circular stone constructions to store chestnuts), until we reach the hidden mallet of Mon. In this privileged natural space we find the remains of the Mazo, next to the old irrigation channel, still perfectly preserved today. At this point and before starting the way back, along the same path, we must stop to take a breath and enjoy the Ahío river and the ecosystem that surrounds it, characterized by riparian forest in which alders, ash and willows bathe their roots. Halfway up we turn left to Ventosa to return to Revoqueira.
Iniciamos la ruta en el pueblo de Piorno, que se recomienda recorrer porque conserva excelentes muestras de arquitectura tradicional de los Oscos en piedra, pizarra y madera.
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.
Route of nature and ethnography that begins next to the house of culture in Santa Eulalia de Oscos.
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.
