Green Path of Agüeira PR-AS 241

The route starts and ends in the village of Villanueva itself.

The itinerary begins near the Town Hall, along a path that leaves the village towards the local cemetery, continuing towards the houses of El Río and arriving at Santa Eufemia, where we can stop to visit the Ecomuseum of Bread or rest in the recreational area. At this point we begin the ascent to El Vale and Pena Grande through a native forest where we can enjoy the shade of birch, oak and holly trees. We continue towards the brañas of Lama, Chao de Bureiros and A Folgueirúa, enjoying the magnificent views from the heights. We descend the mountainside, crossing the Morán and Ceilán streams and the Vilanova river. As we are about to reach the latter, we can't help but be delighted by the magnificent cortín, which gives us an idea of the importance that honey and wax production has had in the area since ancient times. In San Mamed we are greeted by a charming wash house that invites us to stop and enjoy the magnificent examples of stone architecture. We cross the road and continue along the mountainside until we reach the village of Pacios, whose splendid architecture also deserves our attention. We continue through the oak grove of Pacios until we reach the road again, continue along the road to Santa Eufemia and from here along the cemetery road to Villanueva. The short section, about 2 km long, starts next to the monastery of Santa María, ascending to Ovellariza and descending through a native forest towards the Riodepil stream, which we cross over a wooden footbridge, continue towards the Guieiro neighbourhood and descend again towards Villanueva.
