Description

We will pick you up in Cangas de Onís, no waiting, no queues. We will enter the Picos de Europa National Park in our private vehicle, enjoying and interpreting the landscape. We will start the route by visiting the Mirador del Príncipe and its magnificent views over the Vega de Comeya and the Concejo de Onís. We will pass through the old iron mines of Buferrera, limestone towers and mine entrances that transport us back in time. We will arrive at Lake Ercina, approaching the shore to see the peaks of the Cornión Massif reflected in its waters. Then a gentle climb to the Mirador de Entrelagos viewpoint to enjoy the views of both lakes, before descending to Lake Enol and returning to our vehicle. After descending from the pass, we will stop at the most visited place in Asturias: the Sanctuary of Covadonga. You can visit the Basilica and the Holy Cave at your own pace (this part is NOT guided), where you will find the image of the Virgin of Covadonga, 'La Santina' as she is known in Asturias. We will drop you back in Cangas de Onís in time to enjoy the local cuisine and delicious Asturian cider.
