Los Lagos de Covadonga
One of the most beautiful and overlooked parts of Spain is Asturias and the Picos de Europa mountain range as highlighted by the Spain is Passion blog. The lakes of Covadonga are located 1000 meters above sea level and consist of two - Enol and Ercina lake. According to the blog:
“There are several ways to get up to this paradise. A guided tour is always best since the ride leading up to the lakes has many curves on a small road. You can also take an escorted hike tour , for those adventurous souls who want to take everything in. How you get up is up to you! Once there the miles of flush green meadow, the smell of nature, the glimpse of the wilderness and the sound of the echo will enchant you.”
A perfect place for letting children run free and getting back to nature in splendid isolation.
