Esta ruta comienza en Barcia (Asturias) donde disponemos de un aparcamiento público para dejar nuestro coche a escasos metros del inicio.
Comenzamos por un sendero paralelo al río Barcia atravesando el pueblo hasta encontrarnos con un pequeño puente, donde justo se juntan los tramos de ida y vuelta.
Seguimos caminando por un frondoso bosque de castaños y carballos acompañados del sonido del río que pasa a nuestra izquierda.
La vegetación es abundante y muy atractiva, típica de ribera donde los suelos están cubiertos de musgo acompañándonos siempre la sombra que forman los abundantes árboles autóctonos.
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.
To start the route we will move to the village of Espasande and half a kilometer from here in the direction of Taramundi we will see an explanatory panel on the left hand side at the beginning of the route.
Download the route in PDF and KML and follow the route with your mountain bike or MTB. With different levels of difficulty, duration, slope and length. If you don’t have a bike you can rent one.
The itinerary begins in Teixo, where after leaving the vehicle and passing the last houses we start an easy walk along the road that connects this town with Santa Marina, leaving it to the right by a wide dirt track that leads us after a slight descent to the Arroyo das Mestas.
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.
The route starts in the center of Vegadeo in the area known as the Fondrigo, located at the exit to Galicia. From here we start the ascent to Miou, where we will find a crossroads where the path forks and we can go on either side, since from this point the route is circular.
