Antiguo Camino de Santiago que acogía a los romeros llegados por la Ría del Eo.
Desde El Llano nos dirigimos hacia San Andrés y a pocos metros nos encontramos con el “Peto de Ánimas” del Paxarelo donde se inicia esta senda a orillas del Rio Eo. Discurre por un sendero fluvial que permite divisar la flora de rivera (alisos, sauces, fresnos) o contemplar el salto de truchas o salmones.
La ruta asciende hasta San Andrés, localidad en la que existió una mina de hierro y que hoy posee explotaciones agricolas y ganaderas dada la fertilidad del Valle del Eo.
La pendiente va aumentando ligeramente en el tramo final del recorrido y entre pinares y robledales el caminante llega a la Ermita de Prado. Desde allí el Camino de Santiago se adentra en tierras gallegas.
Una vez llegado al final de la ruta hay dos opciones: Regresar por la misma senda o desde Prado bajar hacia el rio Eo y alli nos encontraremos con la Ruta del Ferrocarril por la que volveremos a San Tirso.

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 route begins in Louteiro, which is accessed after taking a detour to the left shortly before leaving Vegadeo in the direction of Galicia. From the chapel of this village begins the route once used by pilgrims and pilgrims on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, who avoided the main roads to pass products from Galicia to Asturias.
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.
In our region the route starts at Penarronda beach, declared a natural monument for its high environmental values, a beach that holds the blue flag and where you can not miss a good swim.
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.
