Turismo de Galicia

Key points on the route:

1. From Liber (1) the route heads off towards San Román de Cervantes. A stop at the Navia river (2) provides an opportunity to watch riverside birds such as the grey wagtail and, in spring, the oriole.
2. After passing San Román (3), the route climbs up for a few kilometres through open habitats, pastures and scrubland - pay attention to raptors such as montagu's harrier or, in late summer, the lesser kestrel.
3. Next, the route arrives at an area of pine forests known as Sete Carballos (4). It is very interesting area for certain passerines such as the goldcrest.
4. Once in Campa da Braña (5) the route makes its way to the surroundings of the Club Ancares mountain inn (6) and a few kilometres further up in Teso de Fieiró (7) northern harrier can be seen with some luck.

Key points on the route:

1. Leaving the inn, the route runs through scrub-covered slopes where species such as the dunnock, northern harrier and, with luck, the grey partridge can be seen.
2. After arriving at the base of the Tres Bispos peak (1), the route ascends along a footpath. This stretch is good for watching red-billed chough.
3. At the summit (2), with a little patience other corvids such as the common raven can be seen, along with raptors such as the northern harrier, griffon vulture and common kestrel and small birds such as the water pipit.

Key points on the route:

The full itinerary should only be undertaken if you are in good physical condition and have mountain experience

1. From the inn, head to the depths of the Cabanavella forest (1), where it is possible to find interesting forest birds, including most notably the black woodpecker, which is difficult to see by easy to find due to its song. Early in the morning the elusive eurasian woodcock can also be found.
2. After reaching the Campa de Brego (2), where there is a rudimentary shelter, climb to the Penarrubia peak by again crossing through a wooded area (3).
3. When on the rope (4) and until the peak (5) is reached, red-billed choughs, raptors such as the common kestrel, european honey buzzard, northern harrier and, occasionally, the golden eagle can be seen. Be attentive to the flocks of partridges since, with some luck, a grey partridge can be seen

Key points on the route:

1. The surroundings of Piornedo (1) are a good place to see birds linked to agricultural environments, such as swallows, house martins and red-backed shrikes.
2. Shortly after passing by the village church (2), the route enters an area with pastures and scrubland where yellowhammer can be seen.
3. It continues along the beautiful valley that leads to the base of the mountain (3), where scrubland birds such as dunnock and even forest birds such as the eurasian nuthatch can be found in wooded areas.
4. From the base of the mountain to the summit (4), be attentive to birds of prey: golden eagles, short-toed snake eagles and griffon vultures can be seen. At the summit there are often northern raven and water pipit.
