Mon Route

A Reboqueira - A Reboqueira 13,33

The route begins in A Reboqueira, surrounded by meadows where cattle graze. Continuing along the path towards the village of Mon, you soon enter a forest of chestnut, birch and oak trees. In Mon we can appreciate the baroque architecture of the Palace of Mon, and we can visit its interior during the summer season and holidays.

From here, along a path marked out by stone walls and chantos (stone walls) we reach a fork, where before continuing on our way to the village of Mazo de Mon we recommend visiting the chapel of Sta. Marina, a place where we can see the valley of the river Ahío and in the background we can make out the next stop.

Returning to the main road, we will arrive at El Mazo de Mon, through a leafy forest of chestnut trees and corripas (circular stone constructions used to store chestnuts) that dot the landscape. In El Mazo de Mon we recommend visiting the remains of the old mazo and the irrigation channel that used to irrigate it, surrounded by a forest of alders, ashes and willows. From here we return along the path we have already walked and halfway along it we will come across a sign on the left-hand side that takes us to Ventosa and from there we will return to Reboqueira.
