route 11 Roxos small river – Villestro

The Roxos River as it passes through the limits of the municipalities of Santiago and Ames, falls steeply towards its mouth in the Sar River forming impressive waterfalls. The section is full of rapids and pools between some oak groves mixed with laurels and other riverside trees. Its flow suffers sudden rises when the rains drive the waters to the south. There are also two abandoned mills covered with weeds. The clean waters of the Roxos after this fall are mixed in front of the Castro de Mirás and the paper mill ruins of Brandía with the waters of the Sar.
