The route starts at the A Seara motorway, at a point very close to the Campos de Vila crossroads. A dirt track takes you along the Quiroga river valley from this point to the village of Casa do Vello. After just over a kilometre, the path reaches A Rodela and passes through a tunnel under a large house. Afterwards, the track continues for about five kilometres to Casa do Vello, passing the O Chao do Toxo bridge. The indicated section has hardly any slopes, making it suitable for cycling, including beginner cyclists.

From Casa do Vello the route goes up a steep path to the hermitage of San Xoán and descends towards the Pacios river valley. You will reach the village of As Barxas, where the return journey begins through an oak forest, in the direction of the Os Barreiriños and O Chao do Toxo bridges. In this section, you will find some fairly well preserved old apiaries. Continue on to reach the point at which you began.
