Itinerary description
Here are some hints and tips.
During high season, before 8:00 in the morning, you can get to the lakes on your own vehicle. After that it is only public bus.
This one runs from 9 in the morning till 9 in the evening. The fare is 9 € for a round trip, and the frequency is every twenty minutes.
The first stop is at the Cangas de Onis' bus station. Then there are other three stops along the way, until you reach the terminus (i.e., the lakes in question). The whole trip lasts around 40 minutes.
Now, I recommend that you should park your car at the Parking grande P1 in Cangas de Onis, which is right next to the bus station, and costs just 2€ for the whole day.
Bear in mind that the further up you park along the route (P2, P3, P4), the more the chance is that you'll find it difficult to find free spots on the bus. Indeed, as the bus goes up along the route, it gets more and more crowded, until it is completely full up.
Also, big lines form at the various stops: the further ahead, the worse. So you'll have to wait for later buses.
My trail covers all the major spots on the two touristic route suggested by the visitor's centre.
