Walking along the Río Eo

The Senda del Río Eo is an easy, five-kilometre circular route connecting A Veiga, also known as Vegadeo, Miou and Louteiro. Its estimated maximum duration is given as three hours. The route includes a natural viewpoint, a wooden walkway leading to a landing stage, and a riverside recreation area with benches and tables. It leads to the Eo estuary, designated as a Site of Community Importance and a Special Protection Area for Birds. If you plan this route, you can experience the circular trail, river scenery and the listed rest facilities as different aspects of the same walk. Check the condition of the facilities and any current notices from the protected-area authorities before your visit.

The Ruta del Estraperlo offers a historical perspective on the river. It runs along the banks of the Eo, following a path once used by pilgrims on the Way of St James and smugglers. Goods were transported along it between Galicia and Asturias. The Ruta del Estraperlo recalls the former transport of goods between Galicia and Asturias.

Woodland and cultural heritage in the municipality

The Ruta del Mazo de Meredo passes through a eucalyptus forest interspersed with native plants such as chestnut trees, holly and laurel. Numerous streams are also part of the landscape described along the route. At the Mazo de Meredo, the hammer and mill illustrate the tradition of ironworking and the former use of water power; a recreation area is located nearby. Woodland, waterways and the history of craftsmanship offer a different focus here from the trails along the Eo.

In Piantón, the Iglesia de San Esteban de Piantón brings together several periods of art history: the church dates from the 16th to 17th centuries and houses Baroque works of figurative art, as well as works by local artisans from the 19th century. The Senda artística de los 12 puentes currently comprises seven sculptures. The Ermita de San Bartolomé in Vegadeo is also designated as religious cultural heritage and as a hermitage. These places and designations offer different starting points for a cultural stay without setting out a fixed itinerary.

Mountain biking

The Ruta Vegadeo–Vegadeo covers a much longer distance than the five-kilometre circular route: it is 26.089 kilometres long, has a cumulative ascent of 950.94 metres and reaches a maximum elevation of 318.82 metres. The mountain-bike route combines wide tracks and local roads and is considered easy to ride. It is intended for mountain bikes, or BTT. Files in PDF, KML, PLT and WPT formats are available for the route; check local conditions if you are using them to plan your ride. Its length, ascent and elevation make this route a different kind of day out from the shorter walk along the Río Eo.
