The fact that we are in August, the month the more people enjoy holidays and have not yet made any entry on the route Agüera-Moal, is what encourages me to translate it into the blog and thus contribute to a little more known, as surely during these days will be Many visitors to kindly visit the area.

Agüera of Coto is not within the park boundaries, but once started our journey, for which we must follow the road to San Antolin Ibias, we realize that half a mile a sign tells us that we are entering the territory of the Park. A little later, as the road enters a tunnel to save the Peña del Aguila, the left must take the route of the old road that parallels the river leads to the signaling path Lartosa. At this point the confluence of two stages: the one in question and the Abanceña to Agüera. The latter, abandoned by the administration, presents an impossible road to follow to be fully taken over by weeds.
