Day trip to Lagos de Covadonga, Cangas de Onís and Lastres from Oviedo

This excursion takes you through some of Asturias’ must-see locations, transporting you from Oviedo to the Lakes of Covadonga in comfortable private transport, with an expert guide and a fully planned itinerary, along with free time to explore each destination your own way.

We’ll leave Oviedo early in the morning to reach the lakes as soon as possible and enjoy the nature, wildlife, and flora of the Picos de Europa National Park in all its splendour. On the way, we’ll travel along the typical winding mountain roads of Asturias, offering stunning views from your window.

Once inside the park, which you can access freely by joining an official excursion, we’ll head to the Entrelagos viewpoint to admire both Lake Ercina and Lake Enol. Our guide will explain the park’s features and curiosities, and you’ll have around an hour to explore the area at your own pace.

This natural setting is a perfect plan for families, couples, or groups of friends, especially if you enjoy active tourism and hiking routes.

Our next stop will be the Basilica of the Virgin of Covadonga, where you’ll learn about the origins of Don Pelayo and the beginning of the Reconquista. You’ll have free time at the Covadonga Sanctuary to visit King Pelayo’s tomb and the famous Santina Cave.

Afterwards, we’ll head down to Cangas de Onís, where we’ll offer a brief introduction to one of the most emblematic towns of the Principality of Asturias. Then, you’ll have two hours of free time to explore at your leisure.

On the return journey to Oviedo, we’ll follow the Asturian coastline for panoramic views of La Espasa, La Isla, and La Griega beaches, three highlights of the region’s scenic shoreline. Finally, we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour in Lastres, strolling through its charming streets and admiring the exterior of Doctor Mateo’s house, one of the village’s iconic landmarks.

We’ll arrive back in the capital around 8:00 PM, so you can continue making the most of your day. Make it a Buendía with our excursions from Oviedo and book your spot now!
