Take the track that starts by the information panel (85 m). At the
fork, follow the white-yellow waymark uphill to the right. After
crossing a bridge (4min) (90 m), the river Urdón flows on your right.
Lined by fig trees, the route goes over two more
bridges (14min) (110 m),
and stays a little while on the right side of the
river, before the path
starts to
zigzag uphill. In a couple of minutes, you pass the sign of "La Bargona".
You go through a gate (30min) (300 m), and continue in the forest
along the stony path on the slope of the Canal de Cerrosa. Once above
the tree line, you se the peaks of
Pico de
Macondiú
in front of you (39min) (395 m).
You pass a path branching off right to the lookout spot of La Bargona
(49min) (490 m).
When you reach the
Balcon de Pilatos
(1h05min) (590 m), where the
path bends right, take a break to admire the snake like
shape of the
path below, and the
Pico del Ave on the background.
You keep climbing the steep and stony
path still for a
while, before it becomes gentler and opens up a view to the village of Tresviso. After passing a fountain by a group of stone cottages
(1h30min) (810 m), the path starts ascending again, this time along the grassy
slope of Cotero Cruz. You pass a
lookout spot
(1h56min) (880 m) before
entering the village
(2h) (875 m), well known of its selection of cheese
varieties.
Return on the same way back to Urdón (3h50min).
