At the Vivero crossing, the route descends towards Villablino and Alto Sil through the Bayo River valley. Just before the first houses of El Villar de Santiago, the route deviates to the right along a mining track that takes us to the vicinity of the Carrasconte Sanctuary. A couple of kilometers before the sanctuary, we will find a forest path on the left that leads in a steep descent to Villaseca de Laciana. Already in the valley of the Sil River, we face the last stretch to Villablino.
