Parador Fuente De Hotel Rio Deva

Spain - Cantabria - Fuente De

This parador, sheltering under the Picos de Europa, is the terminus for a mountain cable car

This modern mountain refuge is located in the foothills of the Picos de Europa and opening onto the fertile Liebana valley. It is surrounded by woodlands and hillsides in a region which is split into modest hamlets.

The building is located at the bottom of the cable car which travels up to the Aliva viewpoint. Look down into the valley and see the Parador in the middle.

The classical mountain style decoration of warm wood and leather furniture recreate the so appreciated warmth of home.

Taste the traditional Cantabrian cuisine in the hotel restaurant such as:

"Cocido lebaniego" which is a local stew of the Liebana valley;
"Ensalada de gallo de corral" which is a chicken salad made with a free range cockerel;
"Solomillo al queso de Tresviso", a sirloin steak with Tresviso cheese;
"Lomos de venado con salsa de arándanos" being venison with blueberry sauce;

If you want to make a cultural visit to the Cantabrian villages of this region, start off in the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liebana, followed by the church of Santa Maria and to the Infantado Tower in Potes.

Other interesting monasteries are: Piasca and the pre-Roman church of Lebena.

Explore the village of Mogrovejo, and visit the Liebana viewpoint located in the villages of Cahecho and Luriezo.

In Autumn you will be able to attend the feasts of Potes, the Cross, the Cattle fair, or the Orujo (liqueur) Fair.

On July the 2nd, you have La Santuca and you can see the pilgrimage there.
