Navia sits at the mouth of the Río Navia and serves as the commercial center for this stretch of coast. The old town — what remains of it — is compact enough for a quick loop. The harbor is functional rather than picturesque, but the riverside park is pleasant.
All services available. Beyond Navia, the camino mostly avoids the N-634 on country back roads until it crosses the A-8, after which the road becomes harder to escape.
Nuestra Señora de La Barca is celebrated from the 14th to the 17th of August.
Beyond Jarrio the camino mostly avoids the N-634 and instead keeps to the countryside back roads. Once it crosses over the A-8 however that pattern changes, and it follows the main road into Cartavio. From Cartavio to La Caridad it then struggles to stay off the road, leaving for brief stretches but alway returning to it. In La Caridad, after passing the municipal albergue, it returns to the old N-634 through town.
