Ron is a small village in the municipality of San Martín de Oscos, in the heart of the Los Oscos Eo y Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve. A stay here brings together two perspectives: the village’s architectural heritage and the paths that lead through forests and hamlets and to natural viewpoints across the municipality. If you are considering Ron as a destination, you can include both the character of the village and the municipality’s natural and cultural highlights in your plans. The paths each have a different focus, which can be distinguished by their routes, landscapes and views.

Village and Regional Architecture

In Ron de Arriba, the Capilla de la Casa de Ron is protected under the PM designation. The accommodation in Ron offers another facet of rural architecture: it was created by carefully renovating an old farmhouse while preserving typical architectural features of the region. The house is built of stone, with a slate roof and chestnut beams associated with traditional Asturian architecture. Its history combines use as rural accommodation with the preservation of regional features. The chapel and accommodation thus represent different forms of regional architecture: a named building in Ron de Arriba and a renovated farmhouse in Ron.

Paths Through Forests and to Viewpoints

The Senda Verde de San Martín de Oscos (PR-AS 243) is a circular route in the municipality of San Martín de Oscos that brings together scenery, heritage and nature. It passes through forests and hamlets and reaches natural viewpoints. Winding through dense oak and chestnut forests, it reaches a small bridge over a clear stream. Forest sections, hamlets, viewpoints and the stream crossing are all part of this circular route’s described character.

The Ruta Minera de San Martín de Oscos follows the road towards Ron and then turns onto the path marked PR-AS 243. The Senda Verde de San Martín de Oscos has the same marking, making it possible to identify the marked section of the Ruta Minera with the named path. The route number is a specific reference point for navigation. Check trail conditions before setting out; road conditions may change.

The Ruta de Mina Carmina leads to a geodetic marker on Monte Marón within the municipality. From there, panoramic views extend over San Martín de Oscos, Santa Eulalia de Oscos, Illano, Grandas de Salime, Pesoz and A Fonsagrada in Lugo. Visibility of these places depends on the weather. If distant views are important to your plans, take this weather dependency into account.

The routes have different focuses: the Senda Verde is a circular route linking forests, hamlets and a stream section, while the Ruta de Mina Carmina centres on a detour to Monte Marón, with panoramic views over several municipalities. When choosing, you can therefore consider whether you would prefer a circular route featuring varied landscapes or a specific viewpoint as the main attraction.
