Hotels, Paradores
& Posadas in the Cantabrian Mountains, Spain:
The
Picos de
Europa (literally: "Peaks of Europe") is a range of mountains some
20 km inland from the northern coast of Spain, located in the Autonomous
Communities of Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León, forming
part of the Cantabrian Mountains. The most widely-accepted origin for the
name is that they were the first sight of Europe for the ships arriving
from America. Cantabrian brown bears (Ursus arctos pyrenaicus), Iberian
lynxes (Lynx pardinus) and wolves (Canis lupus signatus) live in the remoter
regions. Rebeccos (Cantabrian chamois - Rupicapra pyrenaica parva) are
fairly frequently seen (according to a 2006 Ministry of the Environment
report, there were around 8,000 that year); Choughs and Buzzards are common
and there is a diverse butterfly population in the park. Most of
the region is now protected as a single Picos de National Park in
Cantabria, Asturias and León provinces of Spain; the Asturian part
was Spain's first National Park. Access is via minor roads to each of the
three massifs from the north and from the south to the aerial tramway at
Fuente
Dé and to Caín at the head of the Cares Canyon.

Parador
de Fuente Dé
This modern mountain refuge
located on the foothills of the Picos de Europa and opening onto the fertile
Liébana valley, shows nature in total freedom. It is surrounded
by the dramatic slopes of the Picos de Europa, woods and hillsides, in
a region which is split into modest hamlets. The building is located at
the bottom of the cable car which goes up to the Áliva viewpoint,
at a privileged meeting point for lovers of outdoor activities. The classical
mountain style and the warm wood and leather furniture recreate the much-appreciated
home warmth... |

Parador
de Limpias (Cantabria)
The new Parador in Limpias
is located in the Palace of Eguilior estate, which was the summer headquarters
of King Alfonso XIII's Council. The palace belonged to Don Manuel de Eguilior,
the Count of Albox, and is attributed to the architect Emilio de la Torriente.
Rooms are large in size, decorated in a classical way, not forgetting any
details of modern facilities. Restaurant is well decorated in a classical
style. Dishes such as marmita de bonito (stew made with bonito tuna)
cocido montanes (traditional white bean and pork sausage stew), other white
and red bean stews, plus a variety of cheeses, and sweets such as the famous
Corbatas de Unquera, sobaos pasiegos, or Pantortillas de Reinosa are just
a few of the delights diners will enjoy. The palace is a large square
building with four pseudo-towers at each corner, none of which is very
high. |
