About Our Lady of Covadonga

La Santina is venerated in a cave in the Picos de Europa, in Asturias. Tradition links her devotion to the battle of Covadonga (722), in which Don Pelayo began the Reconquista. She is the patron saint of Asturias and her feast day is celebrated on September 8. Discover her history and curiosities. See all our Our Lady of Covadonga medals.

As a gift

Giving a medal is an act of love: it is worn close to the heart, kept for a lifetime, and often passed down. This piece is ideal for a Covadonga on September 8, a baptism, or for Asturians living far from home. Are you looking for a medal with her name? Look at it in medals by name.

And if it is for you: we always wear a medal. Protected and beautiful at the same time.

How do I take care of it?
Put it on after perfume, cream, and makeup, and take it off to shower, swim, exercise, or sleep: water, sweat, and chemicals are what wear down the gold plating the most. Keep it separately, in its little bag or in a jewelry box, and clean it only with a soft, dry cloth. Here are 6 tips to make the shine last longer.

How does it differ from a cheap imported medal?
It is designed by us, handmade in Spain, and we clearly tell you what it is made of. Nothing to do with factory-made medals that are bought for a few euros and resold as "original design". We tell you about it in Khartes Medals vs. Cheap Imported Medals.
