Description
Among ancient chestnut trees, this route goes into the Central Massif to cover one of the most unknown
areas within the municipality of Manzaneda. A place where, despite the ongoing depopulation, traditional
activities such as animal grazing, farming and chestnut gathering are still kept alive.
After crossing San Miguel de Bidueira and leaving behind the parish church of the same name we come across the sign indicating the beginning of the route. From here, with the panoramic Prada Glacier behind us, we head towards the village of Trabazos, which hides the chapel of Santo Antonio, until we come to Cubeiros. From Borruga, crossing the Souto de Tonxil and Placín, we come to the end of the route on the outskirts of San Miguel de Bidueira.
At this point it is possible to join PR-G 138.
