Route of Carbayal de Salgueiras PR-AS 215
The route begins next to the chapel of Salgueiras, located on the AS-27, 6 kilometres from Villanueva. Along the route you are invited to take a close look at the surroundings: houses, auxiliary buildings, vegetable gardens, meadows, farm implements and woods, which reflect the traditional way of life of the inhabitants of the area.
The route enters one of the best natural oak groves in Asturias, with specimens of great size and beauty. Further on, it crosses an area of scrubland with an abundance of heather, broom and gorse, offering a landscape that changes according to the season. At Xestoso, with similar characteristics to Salgueiras, a gentle descent begins towards another magnificent oak forest, dotted with birch and chestnut trees.
The path reaches the Xestoso stream, where a riverside forest with alders, ashes and willows enriches the surroundings. A small wooden bridge allows you to cross it and start the final ascent towards Salgueiras, passing by farmhouses and estates that complete this circular route, full of nature, history and rural life.
