The Camino Real de la Valdavia (English translation Royal way of La Valdavia) is a historical route in Spain that joins the Way of St. James as it passes through Carrión de los Condes, with the Piedrasluengas pass through the valley of the Valdavia, and which was known and represented as such on maps until recent times.[1]

In addition to the vía Vadiniense and the ruta del Besaya, the ancient Cantabrian people and the rest of the people who reached the northern coast by boat knew another way of communicating with the fertile Castilian Plateau. This is the Camino Real de la Valdavia. This route allows the devout traveller the opportunity to visit two of the most important Christian pilgrimage centres in Spain, the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral and the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana.

This route starts at the seaport of San Vicente de la Barquera and crosses the Piedrasluengas pass, entering the Valdavia valley parallel to the Valdavia River until it joins the Besaya route at the alto de la Esperina near Carrión de los Condes.

This old road has several references that prove its antiquity and use. This is due to the fact that the aforementioned valley is the shortest and most accessible route from Carrión to the sea through the Piedrasluengas pass, which has allowed the movement of people and goods from Castile to the Cantabrian Sea since secular times.
