Here begins an uphill section through forests

Porto is a small municipality in the Upper Sanabria region, located in the northwest corner of Zamora, bordering León and Orense. At over 1,200 meters above sea level, it is the highest town in the province and an ideal starting point for exploring the Segundera and Porto mountain ranges, with peaks exceeding 2,000 meters, such as Peña Trevinca. The surrounding area, part of the Sanabria Lake Natural Park, offers glacial lagoons, reservoirs, and a rich wildlife, where it is not uncommon to find roe deer, wolves, and golden eagles. Porto also preserves traditional Sanabria architecture and a 12th-century Romanesque church, adding cultural value to the visit. Hikers are advised to be well equipped, as the mountain climate brings harsh winters and short summers, but the reward lies in its solitary and beautiful landscapes.

If you follow the old path (meadow instead of asphalt) you will pass this old cross

A beautiful stage

From this stony section of the GR-84 there are spectacular views towards the bed of the Valdeinfierno stream and part of the Vadesirgas reservoir.

Stone bridge over the Bibei river as it approaches the mountain town of Porto. The cradle of the Bibei River is a magical place that makes you feel like you are at the end of the world.

At this point we find ourselves in a meander on which the castro of "As Muradellas" sits, an Astur settlement from the 3rd century BC. C. (the Iron Age) where remains of defensive structures such as walls and moats are preserved. It also preserves remains of what was the town. In this enclave we can also enjoy magnificent views of the gorges and meanders formed by the Tuela river.

Picturesque bridge that crosses the Tuela river near the Tuiza Sanctuary and that brings us closer to the Tío Juan maquiler mill along a beautiful path between oaks and chestnut trees up to the Castro de As Muradellas next to the river. The area is perfectly signposted with informative and indicative signs.
