The route of Monte Aa or of the Singular Trees is one of the most frequented in the valley. This itinerary takes you into one of the mature oak groves of the region where cagigas -as Quercus robur oaks are known here- abound along with beech, holly and riverside forest. The most striking specimens are century-old oaks cataloged and protected as Singular Trees. One of the best known was El Cubilón, whose remains you will see protected as a monument by a fence. On the promenade you will see the Mellizo, the Belén and the Arriaga. It will seem incredible to you, but these trees were born around the year 1400, when Columbus had not yet arrived in America! It is a real luxury to be able to enjoy them and that is why we ask you to respect and care for them.
The start is the town of Ruente where you have parking to leave the vehicle. There are two options to get to the Singular Trees:

• Linear route that follows the main forest track: go up about 4 kilometers to a curve where you find signs to see the unique trees.
• Circular route signposted as Ruta del Cubilón.

The forest track can be traveled by mountain bike but to enter the interior path, it is not allowed for bicycles.
Always follow the trodden and marked path because what is outside the path is growing the new generations of oaks.
