Saleta Path
A short route of medium to low difficulty. It has a distance of 13 km. at its longest. This circular route can be done in four hours with breaks.
It combines paths, paved roads, country lanes and dirt tracks. Wildlife is abundant and rich in native species.
The artistic heritage is manifest by the churches, manor houses, palaces and chapels, which in the land of Trasdeza are beautiful remnants of the past. It is worth noting that this path passes over a part of the Via da Prata but in the opposite direction from Silleda to Taboada Bridge.

SILLEDA - TRASFONTAO - TABOADA - TABOADA VELLA - CAMPORRAPADO - COVAS - A SALETA (SIADOR) - Silleda.
Leave Silleda from the church square, following the Camiño Real (Via da Prata) in the opposite direction to the hamlet of Trasfontao, where the highlights are the trail, the Pazo (manor house) and the oak woods, and subsequently the pilgrim’s rest area, in Taboada. Following the path in the opposite direction continue to Taboada Vella, and just before the door of the rural guesthouse "A Posta da Prata", we continue to the right and thus, leaving the Camiño de Santiago. At this point, before continuing on the route you are recommended to go down to the river to admire the beauty of the composition formed by the path and the 10th century Bridge with the inscription of its construction engraved on a rock.
Once your cultural breaks is over, return to the gate of the guesthouse, stay on the left, continue on the track and then left again down to the river Deza and along a beautiful riverside walk up to the hamlet of Camporrapado, famous for its illustrious locals and the markets it held up until the18th century and its fine chapel.
Continue the route to the hamlet of Covas with its rural guesthouse, and from there, walk through the oak woods to the A Saleta sanctuary in Siador where the walk ends, and thus, admire its surroundings...
