ROUTE 07 MTB CENTER LOBIOS CIRCLE

ROUTE 07 MTB CENTER LOBIOS CIRCLE

It is a route that poses a challenge for the cyclist due to the continuous ups and downs, but which is compensated by the attractiveness of the surroundings.

From the parking area located at the entrance to the municipality of Lobios we head towards the pools of water near the village of A Cela. It is a route that is a challenge for the cyclist because of the continuous ups and downs but that is compensated by the attractiveness of the environment. It crosses small villages such as Gustomeao, San Paio, O Puxedo and A Vila, allowing us to discover charming places such as Chao de Requeixo, a place of great natural value, or the church of San Miguel and the chapel of Virxe da Reguenga, examples of the religious architecture of the area.

Halfway along the route we find a detour that takes us to the river Mao (tributary of the river Salas), where we can visit several of the natural pools that are located forming small waterfalls and enjoy a privileged place. There is the possibility of continuing up the road until you reach the village of A Cela and continue along Route 2 "Travesía do Xurés" which would allow you to finish this route at the Rectoral de San Pedro in Muíños. If we choose to return to the "Circular de Lobios" route, we will face the second half of the itinerary with a more favorable slope with the company of the Cabaleiro river that we will cross through a small bridge in A Portaxe before returning to the center of Lobios.
