The best gravel rides in Ortigueira-Mera

The path is easy to walk, and there's a wooden walkway opposite the waterfall that offers a good view. It's worth sitting down; there are lots of dragonflies and amphibians.

Fervenza do Casón and very close by, the Pozo do inferno. Both are spectacular.

Good viewpoint to appreciate the grandeur of the Capelada mountains

Good views of San Andrés de Teixido

It's worth discovering something inconspicuous off the beaten track.

The Cantabrian Route does not go up to Cabo de la Estaca de Bares, the milestones continue directly towards the Esteiro estuary, another hidden gem in the repertoire of dune beaches on the Galician Cantabrian coast. The Camino crosses the sandy beaches of the estuary via a wooden walkway, passes by the O Picón tower and reaches the “most beautiful bench in the world”, placed on a natural balcony on the coast at the entrance to the Ortigueira estuary, between the Estaca de Bares and Cape Ortegal. The viewpoint is not only landscape, it combines the sound of the waves, the contemplation of the movement of the waves fifty meters high, the coastal islets, the coastal wall melted in the mist of foam that floats in the air after colliding with the rocks, light, colors, it is a place with a special magic, especially when the weather allows you to enjoy a good sunset. The Nature Trail ends shortly after, passing through Espasante beach and closing the route at the viewpoint where the Santa Eulalia de Ladrid church is located, in the environmental environment of the protected natural space of the Ortigueira-Ladrid estuary, included in the Network Natura as a Special Protection Area for Birds. The return to Viveiro is along the same path, instead of returning through Os Castros, you can go around Monte da Croa to the east towards O Porto do Espasante and travel through the seductive coastal landscapes again until the end of the long day of cycling in Viveiro.

This spectacular recreational area is located at about 360 meters above sea level and offers wonderful views of the coast and the sanctuary of San Andrés de Teixido in the distance.

The Casón waterfall is the second waterfall on this trail located above the Pozo de Infierno waterfall and closer to Lake Casón
