Reflection in the waters of Lagos da Covadonga.
The ascent to the Lagos de Covadonga has often been part of the Tour of Spain since 1983, always as the finishing point of a stage.
Lago de la Ercina and Lago de Enol together form the Lagos de Covadonga (Lagos de Covadonga).
They are located at an altitude of 1134 metres. The Lagos de Covadonga is often included in the Vuelta.
The climb starts at Soto de Cangas by the AS-114 and heads towards Covadonga, the village that gives its name to the lakes and the climb.
Until there, it is nothing more than false flat. Just before Covadonga, the real work begins with the toughest sections just beyond Covadonga, at La Husuera and just before the summit.
Over this distance you bridge 1056 altitude metres. The average gradient of the climb is 7.4%.
