The Walk

From the ponte de Comboa to the hanging bridge over poza das Bestas
Between bridges

This walk starts at the medieval bridge of Comboa, formed by three arches of which the lateral ones maintain the semicircular arch while the central one is slightly pointed, and dates from the 13th-14th centuries. From here we will walk along a short, low-difficulty path that goes mainly among native riverside trees, following the Verdugo River. Although the whole walk is very pleasant, the real surprise comes when we reach a hanging bridge, under which we can see a deep pool known as poza das Bestas and a small river beach, making it an interesting site. 

From there we continue walking a few metres, now on the banks of the Oitavén River, until we reach an old mill and then retrace our steps and make our way back.
