I ill be going to the lagos in early August. Last time I was there (July 2022) you could drive up if you were past the checkpoint/gate on CO-4 in Covadonga before 7:30 AM. Is that still the case?

It seems to depend on when you intend to visit.
From the Asturias tourism website:
The only access authorised for private vehicles to access the Covadonga Lakes is the CO-4 road, however, and in order to ensure the sustainability of this unique enclave, during peak seasons a special public transport system is in place and access to private vehicles is prohibited 24 hours a day.

A different website says:
Off-peak season. Another option is to wake up very early and get to Covadonga to take the road before 8:30.
Yet another sites recommends driving up before 7:30. (Off peak season)

Thanks. I saw those same 3 sites with their conflicting info, hence my question here. I suppose I can get there before 7:30 and hope for the best, with the bus as an alternative if access is closed to private vehicles.
