Picos de Europa
This simple, 27-room mountain lodge, 3.5km from the Teleférico de Fuente Dé at 1700m altitude, features a cafe and restaurant, plus a sun deck. It's linked by 4WD tracks to Espinama and Sotres. Packages including meals are offered (half/full board per person €21/35).
Some years the hotel closes Monday to Thursday in the first half of October, though the cafe and restaurant still open daily.
