Interesting spot, possibly full of pilgrims

This section of the GR 105, very close to the Covadonga Sanctuary, is within the boundaries of the Picos de Europa National Park. Here you can enjoy the typical Asturian landscape, where spectacular mountain views coexist with livestock huts.

... you have to cross briefly from Cain.

The tunnels are all so short that you don't need a lamp.

A truly sacred place to pause

They are the first tunnels on the Cares route in the section from Poncebos to Cain

A little like we might see the tunnel up in the end of our lifes :-)

The Covadonga Sanctuary is a Catholic religious complex and an important pilgrimage site. It is dedicated to the Virgin of Covadonga, revered as the patron saint of Asturias. The complex includes several buildings, including the Basilica of Santa María la Real de Covadonga, which was built in the 19th century and houses the statue of the Virgin Mary. There is also a smaller church, the Santa Cueva, which is believed to be the site of the miraculous appearance of the Virgin Mary to the Christian army during the Battle of Covadonga in AD 722. The cave is also the burial place of King Pelayo, who led the Christian army to victory in that battle. The complex attracts thousands of visitors each year, who come to admire the impressive views and learn about the history and culture of Asturias.
