    The views were breathtaking. The lakes were beautiful and it was great to have a walk around the area. Later we stopped at at mirador (Look out point) and saw more amazing views including soaring eagles above. The Covadonga church was impressive and surrounded by stunning mountains. We didn't go to Santillana, we went to Cangas de Onis in Asturias, where there is a fantastic Roman Bridge.
