North Trail: San Juan de Nieva – Arnao is one of the greenways catalogued by the Principality of Asturias in the municipality of Castrillón. It is 5.1 km long. It is for pedestrian use only.
The route goes from Playa de El Espartal - Playa de Salinas - Mirador de Pinos Altos - Playa de Arnao -. It is an easy trail: good surface, gentle slopes and no significant technical sections.
It is promoted by Local council, 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.
