Holy Cave of Covadonga

Highlight • Cave

The Santa Cueva de Covadonga is a natural cave and a point of pilgrimage for Catholics, as it is believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary appeared to the Christian army during the Battle of Covadonga in 722. The cave is now a small chapel with a statue of the Virgin Mary in the center.

Queen's Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from the Mirador de la Reina are absolutely stunning. You can see the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as the winding road leading up to the viewpoint. Due to its popularity, the viewpoint can get crowded during peak tourist season. It's best to arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.

Porru la Cabanona

El Porru la Cabrona is a very tough climb on the climb to the Lakes of Covadonga, known for its demanding gradient that tests even the strongest cyclists. It's one of the legendary sections of this climb.

Lake Enol

The Lago Enol is the larger of the two Lagos de Covadonga, you can already see it from the bus shortly before arriving at the final stop. A lake beautifully situated in the mountains, a short walk from the bus stop.

Lago Enol

Highlight • Lake

The best time to visit Lake Enol is during the summer months of July to September, when the weather is pleasant and the lake is not frozen. The views of the lake and the surrounding mountains are stunning. The scenery is particularly beautiful in the early morning when the mist rises from the lake. There are picnic areas and restrooms near the lake, as well as a small cafe selling snacks and drinks.

For me one of the most beautiful and challenging climbs in the region. Perfect roads, only buses and approved taxis are allowed on the route. The view on the way and, of course, the one when you have reached the top compensate everyone who has undertaken this effort. At the top of the lake there is a small bar where you can eat and drink something at normal prices. And not to forget the grandiose descent on a perfect asphalt road 😱😉😊 .... definitely visit the basilica
