From here it is possible to walk into Cangas itself along the Paseo de Vino which passes several small vineyards and is along the riverside. [Turn left out of the hotel and about 300mts along the road turn right, go over the bridge and then right along the path]
There are remains of two salmon leaps (estacadas) and the leats which served the mills, now ruins. At San Tiso (the half-way point) there is a wine museum (Museo de Vino) which is very interesting. Our first walk was before opening time but we returned next day to see the added attraction of traditional craft making. To reach the museum the path passes a metal works and the little chapel (where the basket maker was working) before turning left and then right to pass behind the museum (wood-turning). There are also a few small wine shops at this point. It then continues along the riverside into the outskirts of Cangas del Narcea at the Barrio Entrambasaguas, which needs a post of its own.
[If walking from Cangas the path starts by the church after the bridge - turn right after the church and then immediately left, then at the top of the short hill turn down the path through the wooden guard rails.]
