Aguión-Gallinero-Aguión Peak

The route begins in the vicinity of Pico Aguión, a peak that stands out in the profile of the council and which is located in one of the mountain ranges that separate Salas de Cudillero and Valdés. From here, the path follows a track that starts out in a clear area that affords broad panoramic views of the Curiscao and Baos mountain ranges to the north. During this first stretch, the path climbs up to a small hill, where a detour begins that changes the direction of the route towards the northern slope of the mountain range.
As you go on, the route enters a mixed forest of chestnut, oak and birch trees. Here, the atmosphere changes completely: the coolness of the undergrowth and the density of the trees offer a more sheltered route, ideal for observing the local fauna. It is common to see roe deer and birds, as well as traces of wild boar that pass through these mountains.
Once past the wooded section, the path comes out again into an open area where the views are once again the main attraction. From this point, on the right, you can make out the remains of old "brañas", such as Brañaivente, which once housed cowherds and their livestock during the summer months. The descent becomes progressively steeper until you reach the village of La Veiga Cebrón, a small scattered hamlet where you can see the fusion of meadows and traditional constructions.
From La Veiga Cebrón, the path follows a local road that connects with Gal.lineiru, another rural enclave linked to livestock farming. This section introduces the walker to a more open landscape, with fields of pasture and stone walls delimiting old plots of land. On approaching the Alto de Cerezal, the route reaches a key area in the history of the vaqueiros de alzada, transhumant shepherds who inhabited these mountains for centuries. Nearby is the Chapel of L.lendepena, a small temple that bears witness to the presence of religious traditions linked to shepherding.
The route then heads back towards Aguión, closing the circuit, leaving behind the pastures to once again enter the mountainous terrain. From the heights of the mountain range, the views take in the neighbouring councils, marking the end of a route where history, nature and livestock farming culture are intertwined.
