access BYPuBlic traNsPortIn order to protect the Picos de Eu-ropa National Park, a plan has been designed for access to the Lakes of Covadonga and to ensure the sustainability of this unique enclave. This plan regulates access at the height of tourist season.

The rest of the year, the area may be accessed by private vehicle, with no restrictions. However, the National Park Administration may apply their own conservation guideli-nes and enact complementary regulations if the access road becomes backed up or if the par-king lots located in the vicinity of the Lakes are full (when they reach 90% occupancy).

lakes of coVadoNgaInside the National Park, in the Cornión Massif, are the Lakes of Cova-donga, which are formed by Lakes Enol and La Ercina at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. Visitors can enjoy a series of marked routes, with different degrees of difficulty to select from.The Picota Vantage Point is another stop not to be missed,to enjoy a spectacular landscape where water and peaks blend together, permanently etching the view in the visitor’s mind.

roYal site of coVadoNgaNature, religion and history join together to make Covadonga a pil-grimage destination and a mandatory stop for visitors. On this same mountain is where the Kingdom of Asturias was founded, we find the Holy Cave, which houses the image of Our Lady of Covadonga, a Neo-Romanesque chapel and the tomb of Pelagius.

Below is the lagoon that produces the waterfall into the Deva River, where visitors toss coins and make a wish.

The Neo-Romanesque Basilica of Santa María la Real de Covadonga (1901) rises above the Cerro del Cueto, with unrestricted access to Covadonga.
