This is the MTB Centre's easiest route. Starting from the Town Hall building in Parada de Sil, we will set off down a beautiful pathway running through chestnut trees and stone walls, in the direction of Fondo de Vila. We will see an old foxo do lobo - a historical construction used to trap wolves - very close to the famous Balcones de Madrid viewpoint, also known as Os Torgais.

From there, we make our way down a traditional stony path towards Portela. We then take a steep tarmac track up to San Antonio chapel and continue along a dirt track under a canopy of oak trees, until we reach the end of the route in Parada de Sil.
