    Another beautiful glacial lake located in the Picos de Europa National Park. Like Lake Enol, the best time to visit Lago de la Ercina is in the summer months from July to September, when the weather is pleasant and the lake is not frozen. The views of the lake and surrounding mountains are breathtaking. The scenery is particularly beautiful in the afternoon when the sunlight illuminates the lake.

    Lake Ercina is a small highland lake in Asturias, Spain. It is located in the Picos de Europa, in the Cantabrian Mountains. Situated next to Lake Enol, together, they forms the group known as Lakes of Covadonga within the Picos de Europa National Park. Lake Ercina is smaller than Lake Enol. It is situated at an altitude of 1,108 metres (3,635 ft) and its maximum depth is just over 2 metres (6 ft 7 in). The eutrophic lake covers approximately 8 hectares (20 acres).[1] Its characteristics are tied to its glacier origin and geographic location.

    It is best to get water down in the village or at the beginning, since on hot days you will not find any fountains along the climb.
