20th Century palace
The new Hotel de Limpias
is located on the Eguilor Palace estate, which was the summer headquarters
of the Council of Alfonso XIII. The Palace is composed of a great cubic
block with four pseudo-towers on each corner of the same height as the
main building. Constructed in a rustic style, notable features include
the masonry of its walls which contrasts with the corner ashlars and above
all the large balconies and a historicist monumental gate with a modernist
touch. |
| The estate has diverse and
catalogued woodland (some of the specimens have been given World Heritage
status) located in an area of great ecological wealth.
The Hotel has all the services
expected of an establishment of this category with the added value of its
extensive gardens (55,000 m2), a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and tennis
and paddle courts.
In addition it has ideal
facilities for the hosting of all kinds of banquets, social gatherings
and business conventions. |

Specialities and traditional
dishes
The Parador de Limpias bases
its gastronomic offering on its excellent regional produce, both from sea
and land.
Some examples of typical
local dishes that can be enjoyed are rice with abacanto, bean stews, varieties
of cheese, and famous sweets such as Corbatas de Unquera, sabaos pasiegos
and pantortillas de Reinosa.
