In Villanueva de Oscos, the La Agüera trail forms part of the Principality of Asturias’ official greenway network. It is 11.8 km + 2.2 km long. It is for pedestrian use only.
The route goes from Villanueva de Oscos - Área recreativa de Santa Eufemia - San Mamed - Ecomuseo del pan de Santa Eufemia - Vilanueva de Oscos. Its high difficulty —unusual in the greenways catalogue— demands good fitness and mountain footwear; it is not a trail for beginners.
It is promoted by Principality of Asturias, within the Asturias Greenways Catalogue (2011). As across the whole network, it is worth checking the current state of the signage before setting off: more than a decade has passed since the official cataloguing.

What to bring
- Comfortable closed shoes; if the difficulty is moderate or high, trekking footwear is better.
- Plenty of water: most greenways have no fountains along the whole route.
- Sun or rain protection depending on the season — Asturian weather changes fast.
