About Lagos de Covadonga:
This is one of the best rides in Spain. If one could do only one ride in Spain, this should be the one. It is definitely a bucket list ride. Not only does it offer unparalleled scenery but it is also a car-free ride. But it is not an easy climb and it has some very difficult sections. It is also a ride full of history and it is probably the most important climb in the Vuelta. The ride starts in the evening in Covadonga. From here it works its way up through a lush forest. Even though the beauty of this ride makes the eyes look away from the road, one should watch out for goats, cattle, and sheep. Eight kilometers from the top the ride starts to get very difficult with a 15% slope. Once you get to the first lake (Lago de Enol) you have a very beautiful descent before the last climb. The last climb takes you right up to the shores of the second lake, Lago de la Ercina. Up here it is only you, a few tourists, a wedding couple and one of the most stunning natural sites in Europe. This ride can be done many times as the weather is ever-changing, which make every ride different. So if you like this ride, why not try our morning ride to Lagos de Covadonga and see how different the same ride can be.

Adding music to the ride:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we do not add music to our rides. We simply do not want to spoil your ride with music you do not like. But it is quite simple to add it yourself. Open an extra browser tab. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like and enjoy the ride...
