Excursion to the Lakes of Covadonga Cangas de Onís Small Group
Discover the magic of Asturias on an intimate excursion for up to 7 people. When traveling in an agile vehicle, we will avoid masses and long walks, approaching in total comfort the essence of the Picos de Europa. The route begins by admiring the spectacular Lake Ercina, and then enjoy the views from the viewpoint of Entrelagos. Next, we will enter the stunning Santa Cueva de Covadonga, home to La Santina and the remains of King Pelayo, and then visit the majestic basilica of Santa María la Real. Finally, we will head to Cangas de Onís. We will look at its iconic Roman bridge and enjoy an hour of free time to eat and walk at your leisure. As a farewell, we will discover the historic chapel of the Holy Cross before embarking on a return to the starting point
