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.
The trail starts at the entrance of the village, where we will find a suitable place to leave the car. After a few meters we will find an information panel that will give us a general idea of the itinerary.

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.
The itinerary begins next to the chapel of Salgueiras, located on the AS-27 road, 6 kilometers from Villanueva. Throughout the tour we must observe the environment around us: the houses, their attached buildings, orchards, meadows, farm implements, forests, to understand the way of life of the locals.
La ruta arranca en una curva situada entre el puente y la aldea de Sualleiro, justo al lado de los apartamentos que llevan ese mismo nombre. Inaugurada en agosto de 2020, se presenta bien cuidada y correctamente señalizada con flechas pintadas en árboles y piedras.
