A great path is being prepared that will unite the three main Caminos de Santiago, following the course of the Navia River from its source in O Cebreiro (Camino Frances) through the Camino Primitivo in Grandas de Salime and ending in Navia in the Northern Camino .
Groups and institutions of 16 municipalities bordering Galicia and Asturias have joined together in a common project: to create a hiking and cycling route on the banks of the Navia river that serves as an economic and demographic stimulator for the regions that the river crosses, from its source in O Cebreiro to its mouth in the Cantabrian Sea.
The route, which its promoters have called the Navia's great path (Gran Senda del Navia), will have a minimum of 143 kilometers, which is what the river measures, although the final route is estimated to exceed 200.
The intention is to take advantage of the existing traditional paths, prioritize the proximity to the river and resort to the road sections as little as possible. The route will link with elements of heritage, natural, architectural or ethnographic value.
