Route by quiet roads through the valley of Dorrón, with magnificent views of the Ría de Pontevedra. We can observe what remains of the way of life of the inhabitants of the two main rural centers of the area, Dorrón y Bordóns, currently remaining remains of: laundries, fountains, mills, and samples of architectural wealth: churches, pazos, cruceiros…
From the main highway of the coast, almost halfway between Areas y A Granxa, departs in the direction norte and then turn left: here we will find two mills, that of Quintáns and that of Costa. going back in direction norte is the mill of Felipe, always next to the stream that flows into the eastern end of the beach of Areas. The slope that saves this stream means that, in the rainy months, it is abundant, contributing the force of the water to move the mill wheels that were so useful in past times to grind corn, wheat and other cereals. Through Lamela we descend to Bordóns to, very close to its parish church, descend towards the coast visiting the Outeiro mills.
At this point we will be very close to the stage sur of the route of the Carballos from Aldariz.
