The route starts in Piantón, a charming village that was once the capital of the council, located about two kilometers from Vegadeo in which we recommend a walk around the square and a visit to the church. We cross the so-called Roman Bridge and take the path to the left towards Arcilo. The path begins with a slight ascent through a deep eucalyptus forest mixed with remnants of native vegetation: chestnut, holly, laurel, … fed by numerous streams.
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 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.
The route begins in the upper part of the village of Bres through a wide dirt road that leads to the Guxo mill, in excellent condition and also has in its vicinity a mini power plant.
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.
