Deep blues, bright greens, golden sands, and limestone cliffs—this is the color palette you'll find along the paths of the Asturian coast.

The best things about Navia are the surrounding landscapes, the views of the coast, and its many restaurants where you can enjoy excellent local food. It's also an excellent base for a few days of cycling through the Oscos region and coastal villages like Cudillero, Puerto Vega, and Tapia de Casariego.

A very nice and quiet beach, also known as Andés beach. There are restaurants and bars next door. The path to the beach goes through a forest of aromatic pines and eucalyptus trees. There is also a lake, known as "Vega de Arenas".

A fishing village that has a special charm. I recommend going to the viewpoint, where you can find some restored cannons and magnificent views of the Cantabrian Sea. It is also interesting to go into its narrow streets to discover the true Puerto de Vega and its history related to whales. In addition, they have a beautiful port and also a museum dedicated to the whole world of the sea.

The Senda Costa Naviega (also known as Senda Costera de Navia or Ruta Naviega) is one of the most beautiful routes in all of Asturias. Suitable for walkers and cyclists. Pass by cliffs, wild beaches and archaeological remains. If you want to do it by bicycle, it is advisable to go on a mountain bike, since it is not paved and it will be the best option to do it comfortably and safely. For the more skilled, a gravel bike may also be suitable.

Spectacular but dangerous beach for bathing. It is about 800 meters long between the cliffs that flank it on both sides. The sand on the beach is fine and dark, and it is very clean. Being a nature reserve, Frejulfe beach is always well-kept and highly protected.

The port of Vega is the main fishing point of the Asturian council of Navia. Passing by the pier you can see the bustle of the sailors with their fishing gear, their colorful boats and the particular building of the fish market that plays a main role in the configuration of this small town.

Navia is fishing, agriculture, industry and tourism. This town is the main epicenter of commerce in western Asturias, in direct competition with Luarca. Navia owes its prosperity to the livestock that benefits from its pastures in the interior, where much of the milk used in the Reny Picot dairy factory, which is on its territory, comes from. It also takes advantage of its direct access to the sea, from its estuary, with the establishment of the Armón shipyards, which build ships. And as the last industrial bastion is the Ence paper factory. Although the tourism sector has emerged as the main engine of the town today.
