Description:
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, such as 'cocido lebaniego' (stew) or 'solomillo
al queso de Tresviso' (sirloin with Tresviso cheese).
