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.
The itinerary begins in the village of A Revoqueira, three kilometers from San Martín.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
