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

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.
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.
