Tranquil natural area featuring 2 lakes, numerous hiking trails & striking vistas.
Slide 1 of 8
Wonderful magnificient place - over the clouds!!! Worth visiting after Covadonga castle, the only thing to be aware - from 01 of June till 10 of October you cannot reache the place by own car - only by bus or special taxi (find it close to the entrance barrier)… now till 01 of June - every working day you can enter the lakes, weekends no!!! But the views are really great!!! Enjoy!!!
Wonderful experience. We took the bus to the top from the city and then took the 2 hour hike on top. Would recommend everyone to do this. Absolutely wonderful with a lot of variety! From an old mine, to a lake, to rocky areas, to forests, and with a lot of cows.
Definitely the best place to visit in Asturias. Just stunning!
It is truly an amazing place worth visiting! I went with a friend and we bought the bus ticket online as during summer the entrance is prohibited feom the morning until night to normal vehicles and thank God because the road is very very narrow with moments of no visibility due to the fog, so bare in mind that if you are planning to visit. The hike is an easy one and you can find a small restaurant with snacks and sandwiches at one of the lakes and they accept card/money. The day we went we couldn’t see one of the lakes because it was really foggy and as anything in nature, you just need to be lucky.
Mandatory shuttle bus from points down the valley. Care needed when booking return as times are inflexible. We got the 15.05, just, but a young woman with a ticket for a much later bus was refused boarding although it was half empty. Dogs are allowed. Very busy around the first lake. Part of the path on the circular walk is on broken steep limestone and quite tricky so boots are essential.
It was truly beautiful and easily walkable (a 3km loop) Very very touristy even on a day with bad weather. Bus ride up was a little scary in the fog and wet but the bus drivers were very skilled
Beautiful lakes well worth the visit
We were hesitant until the last moment about whether to visit the Lagos de Covadonga, mainly because of concerns about the road. However, we decided to go, even with two small children, and I’m writing this review to help other families make the same decision. Many people had warned us that the road was dangerous, but in reality, it’s perfectly manageable if you drive with caution. It’s not narrow,two vehicles can easily pass in opposite directions. We’ve encountered far more challenging roads in other places. For families considering the trip, we highly recommend it! The views are absolutely breathtaking, making the drive more than worth it. Once you reach the first lake, you can continue a bit further,either a short 3-minute drive or a 15-minute walk to see the second lake. We visited in the low season and were lucky to have a spectacular sunny day, which made parking very easy. However, even in busier times, there are public parking areas just a short walk from the lakes. The paths are accessible with a stroller, but we personally preferred using a baby carrier. All in all, visiting the Lagos de Covadonga is an unforgettable experience, and we definitely recommend it for families!
Sanctuary of Covadonga

Sanctuary
Sights & Landmarks
Picturesque pilgrimage destination featuring a chapel inside a cave with a lake underneath.
Slide 1 of 8
An absolutely breathtaking and spiritual place nestled in the mountains of Asturias. The sanctuary, with its impressive basilica and the Holy Cave, is surrounded by lush green landscapes and peaceful nature. Whether you're visiting for religious reasons or simply to admire its beauty, Covadonga leaves a lasting impression. The atmosphere is serene, the views are stunning, and the energy of the place is truly special. A must-visit if you're in northern Spain!
Nice place to visit. The roads to get there are not the best, little information where to park. Be aware of groups of tourists, especially women in their 50s/60s with cell phones taking 500,000 videos/photos of everything they see, even when it is not allowed.
This chapel is nestled into a hole in the side of the mountain. It is a beautiful place and very spiritual. Beneath it is a lake and beside the lake, a small fountain where the water springs from the mountain itself. There is an entrance into the small chapel through a tunnel on the same level as the Basilica, or you can access the chapel from the lake level climbing several sets of stairs. It is a beautiful and moving experience to climb up and sit in this open air chapel and quietly contemplate.
The impressive Grotto of the Virgin Mary is home to the "Fuente de los Siete Caños" spring, which forms a lagoon where visitors are expected to perform the ritual of throwing a coin. Another popular custom is to drink the water from this spring : indeed it is said that, "a girl who drinks a sip from each of the seven water points without breathing will be married within the year." The grotto, which houses the image of the Virgin, is accessible by a staircase where it is common to see penitents ascending on their knees, praying, with lit candles or their arms crossed. The grotto also contains the tomb of King Pelagius, the first king of Asturias. Originally located in the church of Santa Eulalia d'Abamia, its relocation was ordered by Alfonso X the Wise. The first construction in the Holy Grotto dates back to the time of Alfonso I the Catholic, who ordered the building of a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary following the victory at Pelagius over the Muslims. King Alfonso I is also buried in the grotto.
Beautiful cathedral. There was plenty of free parking behind the hotel. Make sure you also explore the cave where you will be rewarded with a magnificent chapel!
A beautiful, peaceful site to visit in the Astoria region of Spain. Mountainous, so expect some steep up and down walking. No cost to visit. Breathtaking walks and views while here. A lovely café on site for snacks, pastries, and drinks.
Lovely views from the sanctuary and Basilica. The sanctuary was crowded with a queue to access it but interesting to see. Not exactly a peaceful experience and must be much worse in the summer season. Lots of toilets around and the hotel on site has a cafeteria and a lovely restaurant. You can park on the way out of season if you are lucky with spaces or stop on the way and take a bus up which would be very necessary in high season.
Beautiful church. They had mass at the little chapel carved on the rock side. Pretty unique atmosphere. Very touristy but worth a visit if you’re in the area. You can walk from the parking lots in the valley below in Covadonga, however there is no pavement for pedestrians. There is a hiking path but it goes in and out of the main road. The other option is to take the bus. €9 round trip from the parking areas 1-2-3-4.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful rivers I have seen with crystal clear waters with green reflections. The route to the pot is short and easy. We did it with 5-year-old children and, except for one area where the stone is a little slippery and you have to lead them by the hand, it was quite simple. The bath in August is 10. It's a shame that lately it's quite crowded, but it's normal that no one wants to miss it. (Original) Uno de los ríos más bonitos que he visto con aguas cristalinas con reflejos verdes. La ruta hasta la olla es corta y fácil. La hicimos con niños de 5 años y a excepción de una zona donde la piedra resbala un poco y hay que llevarles de la mano es bastante sencilla.

(Translated by Google) The massive influx of people will end up ruining the place. It is very simple to regulate access: fine or better tow truck for all the cars that park on the edge of the road occupying the shoulder and sometimes part of the lane, not a road or a secondary road... a National highway. Other sheep even put the car into the road. If you don't respect, don't come. If only those who fit in the parking spaces parked, it would be fixed. (Original) La afluencia masiva de gente terminará estropeando el lugar. Es muy sencillo regular el acceso: multa o mejor grúa para todos los coches que aparcan en el borde de la carretera ocupando el arcén y en ocasiones parte del carril, no de un camino o de una via secundaria... de una carreteta Nacional. Otros borregos incluso meten el coche dentro del camino. Si no respetas no vengas. Si sólo aparcan los que caben en los aparcaderos estaría arreglado.

Interesting but tiny, its not a long visit, I would sugges visit as part of a town walk. Lots of information on the walls about the history but all in Spanish & mobile signal for translations too weak. Read more in the evening back at the hotel. Its in a major tourist town so lack of some information in english a surprise.
Quite extra ordinary: Chapel rebuilt after being destroyed in the Civil War, originally built in 700s on top of a dolmen, which you can see in the basement through a hole in the floor. Lots of information in Spanish.
Cangas de Onís: Lovely small town ... Its history goes back to the Middle Ages ... Former capital of Asturias ...
A beautiful town with great places to stay and eat.

Superb, the walk and the canoe was brilliant, really recommend it. The walk was long 15km i think and had some jaw dropping scenery through the mountains, unbelievable! Take pleanty of sun screen the sun is really intense and get a walking stick for the decent, only 50c from the mountain town plus you want some good boots. Our guide had a wealth of information and made the trip all the more fun and educational. Canoeing was great too though the walk really is worth the money.
Cheaper than other major outdoor adventure companies in the area and offers better value and personalization. Overall a very positive experience.
(Translated by Google) They're incompetent. We booked the Sella River descent with them because they offered round-trip transportation from Cangas de Onís, but an hour before the activity was due to start, they dumped us and switched us to another company that didn't offer this service. We spent a long time calling them, but they never picked up the phone again. Given the number of companies that offer descents, I recommend you don't book with this one. (Original) Son unos incompetentes. Cogimos el descenso del sella con ellos porque ofrecían traslado ida y vuelta desde Cangas de Onís, pero a 1 hora de que empezase la actividad nos dejaron tirados pasándonos con otra empresa que no tenía este servicio. Estuvimos llamándoles un buen rato y no nos volvieron a coger el teléfono. Con la cantidad de empresas que realizan el descenso, os recomiendo que no lo contratéis con esta.
(Translated by Google) My fourth time already, in a period of about 12 years, a small but strong undertaking. The river was crowded this year, but the channel was perfect, just as I expected. Greetings 👋 from Granada. (Original) Mi cuarta vez ya, en un periodo de 12 años más o menos, empresa pequeña pero fuerte, el río estaba este año masificado pero el cauce perfecto, como lo esperaba. Un saludo 👋 desde Granada.
(Translated by Google) Well, the truth is, it was good. Even though it took a while to pick up, it was worth the long journey. We didn't regret it. (Original) Pues la verdad que bien, a pesar de que en la recogida tardaron un poco, ha merecido la pena hacer el recorrido largo. No nos hemos arrepentido.
(Translated by Google) In search of... an adventure, after contacting other companies, they were the right choice for the Sella River descent (the long route). They have changing rooms, lockers, and showers, which was a plus. We booked a round-trip transfer from Cangas de Onís. The organization was a bit of a disaster, and they kept us waiting for 45 minutes after they ended up calling constantly. It leaves a lot to be desired, but it could be better. I support small businesses. (Original) En busca de… una aventura , tras contactar con otras empresas ellos fueron la opción para hacer el descenso del sella ( la ruta larga ). Disponen de vestuarios, taquillas y duchas ,eso fue un punto a favor. Lo contratamos en Cangas de Onís traslado ida y vuelta. Fue una organización un poco desastre y nos tuvieron esperando 45 minutos al acabar llamando constantemente. Dejo que desear pero puede mejorar . Apoyo al pequeño empresario
(Translated by Google) They're a middleman and a scammer, not a company as such. You book, and they leave you stranded because they don't notify the final company, which is the one that takes you to the river. You call them, and they don't answer, you send WhatsApp messages, and more of the same. The only time he answered, he was rude and hung up. We were a group of 20 people, and another company (Zenit) had to come and offer to take us back because they didn't have room in the two vans to take us back. Furthermore, by law, you can't stay at the river after 6:00 PM. We were 15 minutes late (because they also picked us up two hours later than agreed) and we were soaked until 8:30 PM waiting for them. When we arrived at the base, the agent from Astursella sped off on his quad bike... pathetic. (Original) Es un intermediario y estafador, no es una empresa como tal. Reservas y te dejan tirado porque no avisa a la empresa final que es la que te lleva al rio. Lo llamas y no contesta, mandas whatsapp y mas de lo mismo. La unica vez que nos contesto fue maleducado y colgó el telefono. Eramos un grupo de 20 personas y tuvo que venir otra empresa (zenit) se ofreció a llevarnos de vuelta porque no tenian sitio en las dos furgonetas para llevarnos de vuelta. Ademas por normativa no se puede estar mas de las 18 en el rio, nos retrasamos 15 minutos (porque también ellos nos recogieron 2 horas mas tarde de lo pactado) y hasta las 20:30 empapados esperando por ellos. Cuando llegamos a la base el comisionista de Astursella salió pitando en su quad…. Lamentable
(Translated by Google) A disastrous business. I don't recommend it at all. They sell themselves very well by offering transport from Cangas, but... And when is the pick-up? They tell you they come every 25 minutes all day long (but what day...) and then you can call them, but they don't answer... It's a disgrace, after 1 hour and 45 of waiting, no one answered or picked us up. We had to figure things out. Any other company would be much more attentive, and they could even offer transportation to pick up their clients. A pig in a poke. (Original) Un Desastre de empresa, no la recomiendo para nada, se venden muy bien al ofrecer el transporte desde Cangas pero... Y la recogida para cuando???? Te dicen que pasan cada 25 minutos durante todo el dia( pero que día...) sino que llames por teléfono pero no te responden... Una vergüenza después de 1:45 horas esperando nadie respondió ni nos recogió. Nos tuvimos que buscar la vida. Cualquier otra empresa mucho más atentos, y con movilidad recogiendo a sus clientes. Gato por liebre.

Absolutely amazing ride - we were lucky to be just the two of us on a quiet saturday morning and did the 2 hours trail with Ty(?)- the horses were well educated and we enjoyed a couple of beautiful trot and canter (we are both experienced) - Sidra and beer in between. Just PERFECT! :)
Nice horse trip with good trained horses. We did the 2 hours trip, which was great for the kids
Really beautiful trail, especially the part just leaving the town. The guide wasn’t particularly extra friendly or anything but he did take photos for us as a group at the end. FYI- for those with young children, our girls aged 7 could ride alone. Although we, as parents, have ridden with our kids together before at another place in the Pyrenees (at age 3 and 4) they do not allow two riders on the same horse here. Our 5 yr old couldn’t ride. Understandable but FYI. Also, at the other place we rode horses for the past two years, they didn’t tie any of the horses together (they tied the girls’ horses together to the guide’s horse, I guess to better control them).
Love the horses and I went again for another day horse ride🐴
Easy tracking suitable for novice raiders. Friendly guide who only spoke Spanish.
Good experience, nice horses and spectacular views.

Sadly there was very low cloud.
Nice place and highly recommended to visit
Stunning! Worth every inch of road climb to get there.
It's a nice view, but compared to other views in Picos de Europa not that special.
Incredible views, do stop off here
Excellent views of the Picos de Europa

the staff were friendly, they helped us get our paperwork done immediately. They even spoke a little English to help get it all done and stamped, thank you all.
(Translated by Google) We finished the visit to Asturias in Cangas de Onis, we left the camper in an area for caravans specified by signs, our camper, which measures 6 meters, invaded the white lines a little from behind. There were many parking lots and apparently they collect money from fines, because they had the great decency to not only fine us, but almost the entire parking lot. I find the way this town hall collects collection shameful, we will not recommend it nor will we return. (Original) Terminamos la visita por Asturias en Cangas de Onis, dejamos la camper en una zona para caravanas específicada por carteles, nuestra camper que mide 6 metros invadía un poco las líneas blanca por detrás. Había muchos aparcamientos y al parecer recolectan dinero de las multas, porque tuvieron la gran decencia no solo de multarnos a nosotros, sino a casi todo el aparcamiento. Me parece vergonzoso la forma de recaudación de este ayuntamiento, no lo recomendáremos ni volveremos.
(Translated by Google) The town of Cangas de Onís was the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias until the year 774. King Don Pelayo settled in this town, and from here he undertook actions with his people on the northern territories of Spain, as the only focus of resistance to power. Muslim, once the Visigoth Kingdom disappeared. In this municipal area, the Battle of Covadonga took place in the year 722, where Don Pelayo defeated the Muslim forces and consolidated a power and prestige that allowed him to remain independent and found the first Christian kingdom after the defeat of the Visigoths in the Battle. from Guadalete. More than 2,000 hectares of the council are part of the Picos de Europa National Park. Within the park is the monumental complex of Covadonga, where the Reconquista began in the year 722. 12 kilometers from Covadonga, are the so-called lakes of Covadonga (there are three: Enol, Ercina and Bricial, although this one is only has water during the thaw), of great relevance in the cycling field. In the capital of Cangas de Onís, there is what is known as the "Roman Bridge", although its construction actually dates back to the Middle Ages. The town of Cangas de Onís is located at the junction of the Sella and Güeña rivers, the latter being a tributary of the former. In the valley located between both rivers is the chapel of the Holy Cross, which was a temple from Roman times, rebuilt during the reign of Favila of Asturias. (Original) El pueblo de Cangas de Onís fue capital del Reino de Asturias hasta el año 774. En esta población se estableció el rey Don Pelayo, y desde aquí emprendió con sus gentes acciones sobre los territorios del norte de España, como único foco de resistencia al poder musulmán, una vez desaparecido el Reino visigodo. En este término municipal tuvo lugar en el año 722 la Batalla de Covadonga, donde Don Pelayo venció a las fuerzas musulmanas y consolidó un poder y prestigio que le permitió permanecer independiente y fundar el primer reino cristiano posterior a la derrota de los visigodos en la Batalla de Guadalete. Más de 2.000 hectáreas del concejo forman parte del Parque nacional de los Picos de Europa. Dentro del parque se encuentra el conjunto monumental de Covadonga, donde se inició la Reconquista en el año 722. A 12 kilómetros de Covadonga, se encuentran los llamados lagos de Covadonga (son tres: el Enol, el Ercina y el Bricial, aunque éste sólo tiene agua durante el deshielo), de gran relevancia en el ámbito ciclista. En la capital de Cangas de Onís, se halla el conocido como "Puente Romano", aunque su construcción data en realidad de la Edad Media. La población de Cangas de Onís está asentada en el entronque de los ríos Sella y Güeña, siendo este último tributario del anterior. En el valle situado entre ambos ríos se encuentra la capilla de la Santa Cruz, que fue un templo de época romana, reconstruido durante el reinado de Favila de Asturias.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well preserved baroque style. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the town. (Original) Bonito y bien conservado de estilo barroco. Es uno de los edificios más bellos del pueblo.
(Translated by Google) The exterior of the building has a very peculiar construction for the area and is of great beauty 👍🏻👍🏻 (Original) El exterior del edificio tiene una construcción muy peculiar de la zona y es de gran belleza 👍🏻👍🏻
(Translated by Google) On June 2, 2023, two friends and I were preparing to cross the street at a pedestrian crossing in the town of Cangas de Onís. Halfway there, a local police officer caught our attention, who was at a nearby intersection regulating traffic for crossing without her authorization. We, who had not noticed her presence, apologized, explaining that we had not seen her, since she was with her back turned, about 10 meters away from our position. At that moment, another law enforcement agent crosses the street and in a very bad manner, with a cocky and defiant attitude, asks us for our documentation, informing us that if we do not have it we will face a fine. One of us did not physically have our ID, since we had just arrived and were unloading the luggage from the car. Then, the agent proceeds to take the information in a small notebook and tells him that it is 60 euros. When we ask him again for the amount of the fine to proceed with the payment, he tells us to leave and that if we ask him again he will fine us. It seems to us that these bad manners used by the agent do a disservice to a town as emblematic and touristy as Cangas de Onís and someone should take action on the matter. (Original) El día 2 de junio de de 2023, dos amigos y yo nos disponíamos a cruzar la calle por un paso de peatones de la localidad de Cangas de Onís. A medio camino, nos llama la atención una agente de la policía local, que estaba en un cruce cercano regulando el tráfico por cruzar sin su autorización. Nosotros, que no nos habíamos percatado de su presencia, le pedimos disculpas explicándole que no la habíamos visto, ya que se encontraba de espaldas, a unos 10 metros de distancia de nuestra posición. En ese instante, cruza la calle otro agente de la autoridad y de muy malas formas, con actitud chulesca y desafiante nos pide la documentación, informándonos que de no tenerla nos atenemos a una multa. Uno de nosotros no portaba físicamente el DNI, puesto que acabábamos de llegar y estábamos descargando el equipaje del coche. Entonces, el agente procede a tomarle los datos en una pequeña libreta y le dice que son 60 euros. Cuando le volvemos a preguntar el importe de la multa para proceder al pago nos dice que nos vayamos y que si se lo volvemos a preguntar nos multa. Nos parece que estos malos modos empleados por el agente hacen un flaco favor a una localidad tan emblemática y turística como es Cangas de Onís y alguien debería tomar cartas en el asunto.
(Translated by Google) The local police have horns the size of my van. I stopped at the motorhome area for 1 hour. It was full and I parked in two places along the length because the van is 7.5m long. There may be 80 or more spaces available in this parking lot right now and even after stopping to eat something and go get money... on the way back I find the recipe. Well, another citizen who does not set foot in not only Cangas, but I go where I came from and I go to Cantabria again who do not have this nonsense and do have a little common sense. And there are no fines for ACs that have levelers on, since that is considered camping. What good judgment. (Original) La policía local tiene los cuern** del tamaño de mi furgón. He parado en el área de autocaravanas 1h. Estaba llena y he aparcado cogiendo dos sitios a lo largo porque el furgón mide 7,5m. Puede haber libres en este aparcamiento ahora mismo unas 80 plazas o más y aún habiendo parado para comer algo e ir a sacar dinero... a la vuelta me encuentro la receta. Pues otro ciudadano que no pisa no solo Cangas, sino que voy por donde he venido y me piro a Cantabria de nuevo que no tienen estas tonterí** y sí tienen un poco de sentido común. Y no hay multas rn las AC que tienen los niveladores puestos, ya que eso está considerado acampada. Qué buen criterio.
(Translated by Google) The town is very pretty. However, I got a very bad impression. I parked at 21 Avenida Covadonga, in an area where several other cars were parked. I was gone for 10 minutes, buying some gifts at a nearby store. On the way back, we all had a ticket. Apparently, there was no no-parking sign. I asked a municipal official (OFFICER 222) where the no-parking sign was, and she rudely replied that I was Spanish. To my utter surprise, I told her that it was irrelevant to her telling me where the NO PARKING sign is. Even more rudely, she told me to look carefully. Finally, after several minutes of looking, I spotted the aforementioned sign behind a lamppost. The signage is terribly poor, and it's clear they're using the area as a lure to get tourists like me to park and issue tickets. The Cangas de Onís City Council's desire to collect taxes. And what bothered me most was the intolerable attitude of Officer 222. How can an authority respond to a traffic incident by asking if you're Spanish? Regrettable. I sincerely hope she reconsiders. This is a TERRIBLE image they give. (Original) El pueblo es muy bonito. Sin embargo me llevo una muy mala impresión. He aparcado en Avenida Covadonga 21, en una zona en la que había varios coches más aparcados. He estado ausente 10 minutos, comprando unos regalos en una tienda próxima.A la vuelta todos teníamos una multa. No había aparentemente ninguna señal de prohibido estacionar. Le he preguntado a una mujer municipal (AGENTE 222) dónde estaba la señal de prohibición, y de muy malas maneras, me ha respondido que si yo era español. Ante mi enorme sorpresa, le he dicho que eso es irrelevante para que me indique donde está la señal de PROHIBIDO ESTACIONAR. De peores maneras me ha indicado que mire bien. Finalmente, y tras varios minutos mirando, he visto la citada señal tras una farola. Pésimamente señalizado y lo que es evidente es que utilizan la zona de cebo para que turistas como yo estacionemos y poner las multas. Afán recaudatorio del ayuntamiento de Cangas de Onis. Y lo que más me ha molestado la actitud intolerable de la agente 222. ¿ cómo una autoridad puede responderte a un asunto de tráfico preguntándote si eres español? Lamentable. Sinceramente espero recapacite. Así la imágen que dan es PÉSIMA.

The place is amazing. Food is awesome, location is top and the waitress was super friendly. She also spoke good english. They even have a full section for vegan and vegetarian food :) Must visit restaurant when around.
«Restaurante El Palaciu Pintu» in Cangas de Onís is a very friendly restaurant. They cook delicious food and the restaurant is very cozy. The restaurant with a large terrace is also located on the most beautiful square of this nice city. You look out over the eponymous «Palaciu Pintu» and the beautiful facade of the «Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción». But what I find most special is the warmth and friendliness of the owner and her staff. Nowhere else during our tour through Asturias were we welcomed so warmly and helped so nicely as in this restaurant. ¡Muchas gracias!
A nice terrace and friendly service. Happy to see also very interesting vegetarian/vegan options. I had a great Pote Asturiano (with verza) and spnisch tempura, all very tasty and well presented.
Good vegan food outside of Madrid and Barcelona is near impossible, but this tiny place has done it! I was dreading the fact that I'd have a rubbish bocadilllo, but the vegan and vegetarian menu is extensive and tries to stay true to the local cuisine. The young guy serving me was super polite and didn't pressure me to finish even though I was sat alone. Highly recommend the cachopo, it's full of vegetables and is so heavy I couldn't finish it.
Very friendly staff and unusual vegan menu. Finding vegan food around these areas is not easy, so I was thrilled to find this place, that has a full vegan menu of hearthy dishes and very generous portions. The food was very nice and filling, the staff is really lovely despite my nonexistent Spanish.
This was our favorite restaurant during our stay to Cangas de Onis, I wish we had discovered it sooner! Both of us got the vegan cachopo, it was absolutely delicious, creative, and filling, and even the non-vegan said it was a "top tier meal." They had good wine, beer, and cider. Service was very attentive and friendly. There is a nice covered outdoor terrace to enjoy the street ambiance.
Simply the best place in the Northern Spain for vegetarians, especially if you want to try veggie versions of traditional dishes. Both pote asturiano and tortos are to die for. Simplemente sabroso, el servicio más amable y buen rollo.
We arrived to this restaurant on Friday afternoon at around 14h, when we arrived, couple of tables were occupied, so we sat and ordered our food. Cachopo and tortos. I must say that the cachopo that costs me 26€ was not at all worth the prices. The meat seemed to be not fresh at all with a very strange taste. For the very first time I did not finish my meal due to strange (not normal) taste of the food. The fries also were not well cooked at all. By time the restaurant get even more crowded and the staff seem to be lost and very late in taking and delivering the orders. Overall not a good experience at all and not satisfied with the food neither with the service.
