The route starts at Ponte Basebe, where the municipalities of Touro and Vila de Cruces come together, and goes along the banks of the Rivers Ulla, Beseño and Lañas. The route barely leaves the banks of these rivers, and via an ongoing slight uphill path leads us to the end of the path in the recreation area of Ponte Santaia.
You can visit some of the mills that once occupied part of the locals’ daily activities. The waters of the River Lañas once fed the Carballa Mill, now completely restored, and Santaia Mill, among others.
There are also beautiful natural spaces in lush forests, where formerly people gathered firewood and chestnuts. On the stretch by the River Ulla you can still see the remains of some old fisheries that were used to catch river fish.
The waterfall known as Salto das Pombas is another attraction in this area, located in a place known as Montes de Fao – the falls are ten metres high.
The more technical areas of the trail have been endowed with steps and boardwalks to make it easier to cross and make the route suitable for anyone who decides to visit this place.
