The section between Cantejeira and Balboa runs entirely along the narrow local road, which overcomes a steep slope between both towns. In the first meters of the descent, you leave the detour to the village of Pumarín on the left, to then embark on a rapid descent. As the route approaches its final destination, the chestnut groves that surround the road become more abundant. The itinerary concludes at the end of the descent, in Balboa.
