This little haven is not a 5-star hotel, but it will get you through the night. It is also a good place to shelter from the rain. It has a small fireplace and the surrounding landscape is spectacular.

I recognize that I cannot more openly recommend a place like the Villaverde Hostel since 15 years as a friend and client of Javi give us many good memories and experiences. Hostel located in a privileged enclave of the Picos de Europa and a stone's throw from the coast of Cantabria and Asturias. Unbeatable treatment and fantastic value for money. Taking into account both the food and the provision of all the facilities, it seems that you are in a mountain hotel. Ideal for planning group activities and if they are cycling, don't be surprised to find yourself there any day with the Jumbo-Visma, the arrival ramps are fantastic for training the mountain stages!!!

This little free haven features a raised platform and fireplace. Although the fireplace does not work very well, you will be able to make a fire. Special attention to the slopes of the Curavacas peak where we could see wild boars, roe deer.... and if you are lucky you might see a brown bear.
