Cosmopolitan Spain Traveler - Summer '19

Cosmopolitan Spain Traveler

O n the banks of the Sella River, surrounded by the spectacular Picos de Europa mountains, the Parador de Can- gas de Onís awaits you in an incomparably beautiful spot. The hotel is located in the former San Pedro de Vil- lanueva Monastery, a beautiful building with spectacular rooms of stone and wood. The décor is elegant, warm and traditional. The function rooms and riverside garden are ideal places for a unforgettable celebration. We take me- ticulous care with every detail and offer the best cuisine, allowing you to fully enjoy this idyllic spot. The Parador is two kilometers from Cangas de Onís, making it an ideal starting point for visits to Picos de Europa National Park, the shrine and lakes at Covadonga, and even charming coastal towns such as Llanes and Ribadesella. A half hour away by car is the town of Cabrales, where you can visit a museum in a natural cave which offers a demon- stration of the traditional method of making the town’s famous cheese. Another lovely option is the hiking trail through Cares, a spectacular 12-kilometer canyon, or the driving route through Beyos Gorge, another amazing canyon parallel to the Sella. On the way, you can stop at the salmon ladder and marvel at the amazing sight of salmon swimming upriver.

This is the place to enjoy picture postcard scenery, perfect hiking trails around the lakes and mountains, and the idyllic tranquility of a Parador located in a spectacular spot.
