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.
Continuing and after a short ascent we can see the Caserío de la Granda, from where we descend to the bottom of the valley, entering a dense native forest of chestnut and alder trees. Here we can choose to approach a waterfall returning to the main road to reach the village of Esquios, where you can visit a collection of tools and tools. In Esquios there are two alternatives: Continue straight on until you reach Veigas, or take a path to the left that crosses the river Turía and accesses Teixois. The Esquios-Veigas path runs through an extensive mass of chestnut trees in some areas mixed with oak and birch trees. Veigas, a fairytale village, is an example of well-preserved architecture, from which and taking the old road along the right side of the river Turía we arrive at Teixois, where there is a unique ethnographic complex (a set of hydraulic devices consisting of a mallet, mill, fulling mill, grinding wheel and small power plant). From Teixois, we take a path parallel to the stream of As Mestas that leads to Esquios, returning to Taramundi by the same way we started the route.
