The trail from Vega de Arrojo to the Molinos de Corroriu combines a clearly measured hike with mills and the processing of La Escanda. The route is 3 km long, rated easy, and the stated time for the round trip is about 1 hour 30 minutes. This provides a specific distance and time, while other trails in Arrojo are characterized by their names, routes, or a viewpoint. Check trail conditions locally before setting off.
To the Molinos de Corroriu
The route passes three mills set at different levels, where La Escanda is still ground. This mountain grain, which is similar to wheat, also gives the trail a connection to local food production. If current milling activity matters to you, ask locally whether it is taking place at the time of your visit. The trail also passes through chestnut forests with traditional corrus used to store chestnuts. The same route therefore features mills and corrus as two different aspects of traditional land use.
Routes with different highlights
The GR 207 offers a different kind of orientation. It is also known as the CamĂn Real del Puerto de Ventana or CamĂn Real de Las Reliquias, passes through Vega de Arrojo, and continues via Arrojo towards Bermiego and Pedroveya. The names and place references help distinguish this trail from the mill trail, which is rated easy: this route connects several named places. Conditions may vary; check them before planning a specific hike.
The Arrojo–Pico Mayor–Las Agüeras route offers a different kind of scenery. From the summit section, there are spectacular views of the Valdemurio reservoir and, in particular, the Sierra del Aramo and Sobia mountain ranges. If a viewpoint is the focus of your hike, this lookout can be considered alongside the mill and river features of the other trails. The view is specifically associated with the summit section.
Vega de Arrojo and the Senda del Oso
The Senda del Oso follows the QuirĂłs River to Vega de Arrojo and reaches the village at kilometre 19.5. There is a car park there. This makes it possible to locate Vega de Arrojo both by following the river and by using a specific kilometre marker on the Senda. Check parking conditions before you travel, as parking arrangements may change.
The remains of a fortress near Faedo are another destination that requires its own orientation. They can be reached via the main road from the village of Arrojo; you may need to ask locally for precise directions. If you plan to visit, confirm the location locally if necessary. The fortress remains are therefore a different kind of destination from a mill trail, river route, or summit viewpoint: here, the focus is on finding a specific historic site.
