Covadonga Spain

Covadonga’s importance in Asturias and in Spain has made its sanctuary a true symbol, rooted both in legend and in the history of the place. The Holy Cave has become a major centre of pilgrimage, around which the Covadonga church and complex were built in 1887, thanks in large part to Roberto Frassinelli, the “German of Corao”, in honour of the Santina (the Virgin of Covadonga). Inside the complex, which cannot be reached by car, you’ll find a restaurant, a museum, and the rest of the associated buildings. There are also gardens here, offering wonderful views over the surrounding landscape.
