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 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.
Este proyecto pionero e inédito, pretende impulsar y enriquecer Los Oscos a través de la vertebración artística, ofreciendo una conexión entre artistas, visitantes, naturaleza y tradición. Resaltando la belleza, cultura y tradición de los Oscos. Para ello se ha elegido una ruta circular de 10 Km. Dicha ruta comienza y termina en Santa Eulalia de Oscos.
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.
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.
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.
