Full description

This full day from Oviedo shows Asturias at its most scenic. The road climbs into the Picos de Europa to the sanctuary of Covadonga, with its basilica and the holy cave set into the cliff, before continuing up to the high lakes of Enol and Ercina, surrounded by mountain pasture.

After lunch the trip moves down to Cangas de Onís and its arched Roman-style bridge, then to the coast at Lastres, a fishing village whose houses tumble down the hillside to the harbour. Your guide shares stories of Asturian history and traditions throughout the day.
