Cycling Del Norte. Via Oviedo or Gijon?

Norte
Hi all.
I'm making plans to cycle the del Norte on my own touring bike. I've found several GPX tracks for this. The thing is at Villaviciosa, 2 of them go south to Oviedo and then back up to rejoin at Aviles. The other 2 are on the official coastal route. I am wondering is there an advantage on going on the detour to Oviedo on a road bike? I know that's the start of the Primitivo, which looks a bit harder to cycle anyway. Is there anything extra difficult on the costal bit between Villaviciosa and Aviles?
Thanks.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
