Start from your location
Ride there from home: we find the shortest way to the loop and start the loop from there.
The ride
Roll out of Vila de Cruces and let the ride unfold, with most of the route running unpaved. You pass the ZEC Sobreirais do Arnego nature reserve, then follow the Río Arnego, the Río Iso and the Río Ulla. With 1500 m of climbing spread across the loop, the rivers keep you company before the road brings you back to where you started.
