Message from Jaime & Carolina

⛪ The Basilica of Santa María la Real de Covadonga, located in Asturias, Spain, is a stunning Neo-Romanesque church made entirely of pink limestone. 🏰 Built between 1877 and 1901, it was designated as a basilica in 1901. 🌟 The temple, designed by Roberto Frassinelli and constructed by Federico Aparici y Soriano, stands as a monumental sanctuary next to the Holy Cave where Our Lady of Covadonga is revered. 🕍 With its rich history and beautiful architecture, the basilica is a must-visit destination for those exploring the charming region of Covadonga. 🚌 Accessible only by bus, it's a journey that adds to the sense of pilgrimage and adventure! 🌄
