Info
A river marks its life, the Navia, which flows in the form of a powerful estuary into the capital of the municipality, the town of Navia, a peaceful place where you can eat wonderfully, and where you can practice all kinds of water sports thanks not only to its estuary but also to its beach, so surfing and canoeing are commonplace. However, in terms of sport, what really puts Navia and its council on the international map is the Descent of the Navia Estuary Swimming Race, an event with a long tradition.
But the land of Navia is much more... It combines the tradition of the castreña with the historical and seafaring tradition of the monumental town of Puerto de Vega, the birthplace of illustrious people and the burial place of important figures such as Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos. Navia is a dairy industry, countryside, shipyards, fishing, rula, and unique desserts such as cottage cheese with honey or venera. In short, Navia is a continuous discovery, even a literary one, as Ramón de Campoamor is one of the illustrious people born in the capital of the municipality...
