This climb, although longer than the Poio one, seemed less demanding in terms of steep slopes, at least that was my personal experience. In terms of beauty, I prefer the climb to Poio, although this one also has its charm. A highlight of this route is the passage through the monastery of Armenteira, a place I consider a must-see.

This climb, although longer than the Poio one, seemed less demanding in terms of steep slopes, at least that was my personal experience. In terms of beauty, I prefer the climb to Poio, although this one also has its charm. A highlight of this route is the passage through the monastery of Armenteira, a place I consider a must-see. Although it is not spectacular in itself, it has a serene and quiet beauty that is worth discovering. It is also worth mentioning that the ascent from Cabeza de Boi has a cycle path to O Busto.

Esta subida, aunque más larga que la de Poio, me pareció menos exigente en cuanto a pendientes duras se refiere, al menos esa fue mi experiencia personal. En cuanto a belleza, me inclino más por la subida a Poio, aunque esta también tiene su encanto. Un punto destacado de esta ruta es el paso por el monasterio de Armenteira, un lugar que considero de visita obligatoria. Aunque no es espectacular en sí mismo, posee una belleza serena y tranquila que merece la pena descubrir. Algo q se agradece, es que la ascensión desde Cabeza de Boi cuenta con carril bici hasta O Busto.
