The 9km are divided on the map in various colors, red is the path of blue mountains and the urban trail. The views are excellent from the mountain areas, the day we did the route, unfortunately, to fog and some light rain, but it was no problem for the route.

From there we will start to climb towards the park is the first photo reportage. From there we will choose the path that pulls right and go straight on to the concreted path.

For the path we will reach a small bridge crossing a creek, from there begins the toughest stretch of the route, a continuous rise with a significant slope. Estahormigonada in the worst spots for easy climbing.

After arriving at the rise ifnal find a poster that tells us Merendero or Mirador, Mirador will take the address.

We begin to enjoy the views of the valley as soon as you finish ten trees.

The road winds along, throwing good views of the valley.

Down the road the gazebo, a small place where two information boards tell us what we're seeing. After enjoying the views begin the road again, following the path.

From the viewpoint we can see in the valley of Mina Monsacro. This area began to be exploited for the manufacture of guns Trubia in the nineteenth century. Hard coal needed for its blast furnaces. Public ownership until 1899. Happen to public hands in 1952 ENSIDESA buy again when the mine to fuel their furnaces, it would not be until 1969 when the mine would pass to HUNOSA. During this period the mines suffer different changes, one of the most impressive river channelization Riosa.
