Additional Information

Our adventure starts when our guides collect you from the rendezvous point early in the morning to reach the Covadonga Lakes early and maximize our day there.

Before ascending to the Basilica, we will pause at the Mirador de Entrelagos and take pleasure in the splendid vistas it presents of Lake Ercina and Lake Enol.

Next, we proceed to the Basilica of Covadonga, an awe-inspiring edifice, constructed with stone quarried from the Covadonga mountains itself.

We will also witness the Cueva de la Virgen de Covadonga or La Cuevona, which houses the sculpture of the Virgin of Covadonga or La Santina, the definitive emblem of this Natural Paradise that is Asturias and the divine protector of all Asturians.

Our lunch halt will be in Cangas de Onís.

The coach ride back enables you to relax after this extensive expedition.

We will reach Gijón around 7:00 p.m.

A peaceful, idyllic setting - It was so peacefully beautiful. Great landscape with views. I have made friends with the free-roaming tame, wild cows.

Very disappointing - The tour was channelled 27mins before the departure time on the day. They simply sent an email informing the cancellation while I was already waiting for the bus at the departing point. Couldn’t the local operator communicate earlier so I can make other arrangements and contact me more directly i.e.,via phone calls ( I was waiting for the bus and may not check emails) ! It has no proper explanations for the reasons why they cancelled. This is very unprofessional and very disruptive to my day trip plan.
