Me gusta Paradore Nationale in Spain

House & Hotel likes the Paradore Nationale in Spain.

Spain, why we love it.

This former monastery on the banks of the river Sella has been extended by a recent wing blending harmoniously with the architectural and constructional qualities.
The Parador hotel, with its modern and comfortable installations, is the ideal place to enjoy the Asturian landscape. From here enjoy the characteristic fiestas, the ancestral folklore, and taste the best and most genuine of its rich gastronomic recipes.
From this National Monument, the San Pedro de Villanueva Monastery, you can reach many wonders such as the Picos de Europa (Peaks of Europe) range of mountains, the Covadonga Mountain and the nearby river Sella.
Enjoy nice exquisite spanish cuisine from this region which is served in the restaurant.
Worth sampling are: “El pote Asturiano” an Asturias broth;
”Fabada” which is a dish of beans with herbs and sausages;
local produced cheese especially Cabrales, Gamoneo, and Beyo.

The regional drink to accompany these dishes is cider. In Cangas de Onis, visit the chapels of Santa Cruz and San Antonio. The Royal Site of Covadonga – comprising a museum, a wine cellar and the church is a mandatory visit.
Other interesting places include the centre for nature Interpretation in Picos de Europa, Santa Cruz and Santa Eulalia de Abamia and the prehistoric caves of Buxu and Tito Bustillo.
This region is full of traditions reflected in the folklore and popular feasts. The main feasts are: San Antonio (June 13th), the Pastor Feast in La Vega de Enol (June 25th) the Feast of Nuestra Senora de Covadonga, the Patron Saint of Asturias (September 8th).
Distance from the nearest airport is approximately 115 kms, train station is 60 kms away and the nearest port is 83 kms away.

Viva Espania.
