North Trail: San Esteban de Pravia – El Aguilar Beach is one of the greenways catalogued by the Principality of Asturias in the municipality of Muros del Nalón. It is 6.3 km long. It can be walked or ridden by mountain bike, on treated surfaces.
The route goes from San Esteban de Pravia - Mirador del Espíritu Santo - Mirador de La Atalaya - Playa Cazonera - Playa de Xilo - Playa del Aguilar. It is an easy trail: good surface, gentle slopes and no significant technical sections.
It is promoted by State, within the Asturias Greenways Catalogue (2011). As across the whole network, it is worth checking the current state of the signage before setting off: more than a decade has passed since the official cataloguing.

What to bring
- Comfortable closed shoes; if the difficulty is moderate or high, trekking footwear is better.
- Plenty of water: most greenways have no fountains along the whole route.
- Sun or rain protection depending on the season — Asturian weather changes fast.
- If you are cycling, check your brakes: some greenway sections have short slopes.
