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.

of Lebena.
