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.
Already at the top of the summit (897 m) we can see most of the council of San Martin, as well as other neighboring: Santa Eulalia, Illano, Grandas de Salime, Pesoz and A Fonsagrada. After delighting ourselves with this view of distant horizons we descend through a pine forest, meeting the access road to Ascuita. After 1.25 km we reach this small village, once very busy because it was on the road between San Martín and Santa Eulalia. We return to the main road and head towards Vilarín de Trasmonte, passing by the hermitage of Santa Engracia. Currently this route is connected with a section of the Las Minas route, exactly with the one that leads to the Carmina Mine. At a given moment, the signage will warn the hiker of this circumstance. The return to San Martín will be by road.

In the Teixo and just behind the hostel starts the forest track along which begins the walk to the Alto de Ouroso. The path is wide and passable by all-terrain vehicles, so there is hardly any possibility of getting lost. The route runs comfortably between wide pastures, heaths and pine forests of repopulation to reach a landing on which there is a small lagoon where at mid-morning many horses come to this point to water and refresh themselves in the shade of the pines. The animals graze in a semi-wild state and require little attention from their owners, which is why the number of horses has increased considerably in recent years.

The route begins in the recreational area of Pumares; we cross the road and head parallel to the river to Pumares, a village of old ferreira activity, where we can still see the remains of an old mallet. From here, along a marked path, and leaving the river Agüeira to our left, we continue a slight ascent into a legendary forest characterized by riparian species (alders, ashes, willows, and hazelnut trees) and by oaks and chestnut trees that with their whimsical shapes are true monuments.
