The Esva runs through the main village of the parish of Trevías. The hiking and running options differ considerably in difficulty: an easy valley route contrasts with a challenging trail with 1,300 metres of elevation gain. To choose activities suited to your stay, you can start by comparing route profiles and formats.

Hiking in the Valley and Trail Running

The Los Llugarinos route (PR AS-5) is an easy, approximately 10 km route in the Trevías valley. It follows the River Esva and returns via the Reguero de los Molinos. The route lies within the Paisaje Protegido de la Cuenca del Esva protected landscape. It combines a clear route profile with two specific landmarks: the river and the return via the Reguero de los Molinos. The information on difficulty and distance can help you choose a walk; check the route locally before setting out.

The Valle del Esva Trail is a race through the parish of Trevías in the municipality of Valdés and is organised by Club Deportivo Treviense. Its challenging middle-distance course covers 26.7 km and 1,300 metres of elevation gain around Trevías. The event also includes a 9.5 km non-competitive hike for beginners. So these are not simply two route lengths to compare: the Los Llugarinos valley route is described as easy, while the longer trail has considerably more elevation gain and a challenging profile. The trail’s route details and format may change from one edition to another; check the current event information before planning.

The hike accompanying the trail is also tied to the event format. If you would like to plan a walk independently, Los Llugarinos offers a standalone route of approximately 10 km. Comparing the two options helps you make your choice based not only on distance, but also on difficulty and occasion.

Getting Your Bearings and Getting There

Trevías is about 16 km from Luarca, on the N-634 between Oviedo and A Coruña. An electric bus connects Trevías and Busto with Luarca. This gives you both a road connection and a stated bus service for getting between the places. Before travelling, check whether the electric bus is currently running on your travel date.

For travellers in motorhomes, Trevías has a public motorhome area with facilities for emptying grey and black water and a drinking-water supply. Check the facilities before arriving. This is a practical aspect to consider when planning your visit, separate from the hiking options or from accommodation in the area.

Markets are held in Trevías on the second and fourth Monday of each month. If the market matters to your travel plans, check the date before arriving.

San Miguel and Local History

The Church of San Miguel preserves an inscribed stone slab considered one of the oldest in Asturias. Its inscription tells of the church’s foundation at the beginning of the 11th century. The building was rebuilt in the 19th century; inside, three medieval corbels from the earlier building have been reused. San Miguel’s history thus brings together an early account of its foundation, a later rebuilding and features from its medieval predecessor. The three corbels are not independent structures, but elements from the earlier church that were reused in the present building.

A Driving Route and Fishing on the Esva

A driving route starts in Trevías, passes through Brieves on the AS-222 towards Muñás and provides access to the La Trapa recreation area beyond Carcedo. Brieves is a stop on the route described. Historic stone arches connect the hórreos (traditional granaries) to the houses there. This route adds a road link to another named destination alongside the hiking options, without assuming any specific driving time.

The Esva near Trevías also offers two especially good salmon pools for fishing. If you plan to fish there, check local conditions in advance, as fishing access and regulations may change. Together, the river, hiking route, trail, local history and named destinations offer different ways to shape a stay in Trevías.
