Buferrera Mine

Lake Enol

Highlight • Lake

My opinion about Lake Enol is that it is the most beautiful and spectacular of the Lakes of Covadonga, and one of the most special mountain landscapes in Asturias.
🌊 Iconic image: its deep lake, the reflected mountains, and the grazing cows create a perfect postcard.
🏔️ Sense of grandeur: it conveys more “high mountain” than Lake Ercina.
📸 Very photogenic: especially with light fog, at dawn, or after rain.
🚶‍♀️ Accessible: it can be enjoyed without long hikes.

The most famous icon of the Picos de Europa are the Lakes of Covadonga. It is a protected area and you may find yourself with some access restrictions, especially in high season.

It is important to take this source into account due to the scarce water that we find in Picos de Europa in general!

Lake Enol

Highlight • Lake

The Lago Enol is the larger of the two Lagos de Covadonga, you can already see it from the bus shortly before arriving at the final stop. A lake beautifully situated in the mountains, a short walk from the bus stop.
