This is a circular route; you can start at Luíntra, the capital of the municipality of Nogueira de Ramuín, or from Parador and monastery of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil. The route mainly follows wide paths and tracks, and intersects the Centro BTT Ribeira Sacra’s Route 1 bicycle route on several occasions.

The landscapes vary between farmed fields and dense oak, chestnut and birch forests. This route offers magnificent views over the Sil River Canyon and an imposing panoramic view over the Santo Estevo monastery offered by the Castro de Litoria, which towers over large granite crags.

The name of the Maquino Largaño route means "long road" and is a tribute to barallete, the guild slang used among certain travelling traders, especially sharpeners and umbrella makers. It was used for cryptic purposes and was very well established in this area.
