The series of fountains and public washing places, now fully restored, give meaning to this circular route that invites hikers to enjoy a typical landscape in rural Galicia with no shortage of spreading green fields, farmhouses or small cattle farms. It is also a clear example of the relevance that water played in the daily life of this parish in Silleda, just like in many other areas in our land.
The starting panel for this route is on Buxos Fountain, where we can make the most of the chance to fill up with water for the rest of the route. It is important to point out that water is drinkable in all the fountains along the route, and at almost all of them locals leave cups and glasses to make drinking more comfortable for hikers.
The route climbs along a road towards Lavadoiro and Barro Fountain, where flocks of sheep were once gathered, climbing up to graze on the nearest mountains.
From here the trail leads to other preserved places such as Piollo Fountain and the Parada and Outeiro public washing places.
After leaving Parada and following a forest track, we come to the Rego do Foxo Fountain, where formerly people left linen to soften it using the existing wells.
Redemuiños Fountain is the last stop before returning to the starting point of the pathway.
