Ruins of a dolmen - Chozos do Corral do Porto loop from Fervenza de Casariños

Hike to the East through the beautiful Sierra de Suido, taking in the historical site where we pass by the ruins of a dolmen, the Pedra de Abalar, the Chozos do Corral do Porto (shepherd's refuge) and cross the Barranqueira de Casarriños. A slightly shorter hike this week, at 8.5km, mostly on natural surfaces, no special complications, no overgrown parts, but with a climb (320m up, 320m down) Bastones may be useful. Walking time 2hrs 40mins + stops.

This hike is very open, and a sunny day is promised but this is Galicia (maximum temperature 15C), so it may be a good idea to bring something warm and waterproof! Good hiking shoes needed. Bring water and snacks, we'll stop for refreshments at a convenient point. There are no bars or restaurants near the route but we may be able to find a place for a drink in A Airoa at the finish.

Meet at the recreation area de Airoa, where there are neolithic stones and picnic tables, at 11.00am. New members wanting a lift please indicate when you sign up. Some of us have cars and can offer lifts from an agreed pickup point by advance arrangement (5€ fuel contribution to the driver) Don't ask on the day! I can offer a lift from Guixar station at 10:00am, first come first served. If you sign up and later change your mind, please cancel no later then 24hours before the event - we won't wait for no-shows.
