Covadonga / Picos de Europa

The cathedral at Covadonga in east Asturias celebrates a visitation by the virgin Mary

The cathedral rises majestically with very clean lines.

 

 

 

 

 

Not yet old, the church is in excellent condition.

 

 

 

 

 

The view from the road to Lake Enol - castles in the air.

 

 

 

 

The Picos de Europa (European Peaks) provide a scenic backdrop to Covadonga.

 

A pastoral setting high in the mountains.

 

 

 

 

 

Lake Enol.

 

 

 

 

 

The landscape is rugged and weather worn.

 

 

 

 

 

The road into the upper peaks pases through

some spectacular vistas.

 

 

 

 

 

A bit of color in the gray-green landscape.

 

 

 

 

 

The views are breathtaking.
