Hotel La Estrada

Picos de Europa


Just off Arriondas' main street, you'll find this bright and comfortable modern place with 23 colourful rooms and a facade built in indiano style, an ornate architectural style introduced to northern Spain by late 19th-century Cantabrian emigrants. For €10 extra per person, they'll throw in a kayaking trip on the Río Sella.
