Description

From the village of Zobra, this demanding route can be completed in its entirety. It can also be divided or shortened by an alternative route that leaves from the village itself. This alternate route is in close proximity to the public source.

Mountain landscapes, fields and native forests characterise this route. The path runs along steeply sloping roads, often paved with the remains of old wheel tracks. These roads have very little traffic and were once used by locals and miners.

In these mountains, there are still many remains of the apiaries or alvarises that protected honey and bees from the extinct bears of the Serra do Candán. You can also find buildings of high ethnographic value, such as the stone viaduct known as Ponte dos Medos or the remains of the tin mining operations that were so abundant on these high slopes.

From a viewpoint at Ameixedo, very close to the summit of Monte Coco, as well as from the top itself, the views extend over the mountains of Candán and Testeiro, all of them located at around 1,000 metres above sea level. Beneath its peaks, which are normally snowy in winter, deep valleys collect the waters that irrigate the beautiful lands of the Deza. From Coco, you can see the capital of the municipality of Lalín in the distance.

From exit 46 of the AP-53, at the height of Lalín, take the PO-534 towards Laro and Vilatuxe. At Vilatuxe turn left onto the PO-203. In 400 metres turn right towards Pinoi and Zobra. Continue for about 9 km.
