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