Full description

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.

After a couple hours spent exploring the charms of Cangas de Onís and learning about the history of Asturias, your tour will conclude with a relaxing bus ride back to Gijón.

I got this recommended by a friend and I can say that it was really great, especially for families without a car. The guide was both in English and Spanish. The English guide (I think Maria) was super friendly. We had an issue during lunch and she offered to stay with us to ensure we have the lunch. The only recommendation for the trip is to add more time for visits to Covadonda and Cangas de Onis so that families with small children can see the places more relaxed.

Great tour overall. I was a little late for the tour and they were so kind to wait for me. We didn't get to see the Covadona Lakes because of weather, but the other places were pretty cool. Available was an English tour guide (bilingual), but everything was in Spanish so I had to use Google Translate for most of the trip. He was very helpful and definitely knew the surroundings, and most of all was very friendly and took pictures for everyone when requested!
