Discover the beauty of Asturias on this guided day trip from Gijón. Explore the lakes of Covadonga nestled in the heart of Spain’s historic first national park. Tour the charming Asturian village of Cangas de Onís and taste the flavors of local cuisine and cider.
Begin your tour with an excursion into the stunning wilderness of Los Picos de Europa, Spain’s first national park. Your guide will detail the park’s historical significance as you stop at Mirador de Entrelagos for the views. Continue on to the glacial lakes of Covadonga, Lake Ercina and Lake Enol.
Travel through the picturesque countryside to reach the Basilica of Covadonga. Admire the jutting structure, made with stone extracted from the surrounding mountains. In the nearby sacred cave of the Virgin of Covadonga, discover the mystical fountain and symbol of Asturias.
Continue your tour in the village Cangas de Onís. Here, take your pick of a variety of Asturian dishes and sip on a “culine” of cider. Afterwards, wander the cobbled streets, visit the famous Roman bridge that spans the mountain-fed Sella River, and see the bell tower of the Church of Santa María.
On the way back, the bus will leave the usual route to go along the Cantabrian coast passing by the beaches of La Espasa, La Isla and La Griega, offering you a panoramic tour of your dreams.
Finally, we will skirt the Asturian coast, and then, we will stop in Lastres, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, where we will enjoy the village and its impressive viewpoint from the heights. The view is indescribable!
