SHELTERED
BY THE PICOS DE EUROPA
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, to which are added the homemade dishes
of traditional Cantabria cuisine.
