Parador de Cervera de Pisuerga

Spain – Castilla y Léon – Palencia – Cervera de Pisuerga

Modern hotel in the style of a traditional hunting lodge

3-star

Just outside the small town of Cervera de Pisuerga and with magnificent views down to the waters of the Ruesga reservoir, this traditionally built Parador is situated in the Fuentes Carrionas Nature Reserve in the foothills of the Picos de Europa, between Santander and Léon. The interior as well as the exterior reflects the theme of a hunting lodge, with impressive stone fireplaces, wood panelling, and walls decorated with the heads of wild animals. The comfort and cosiness of the public sitting areas is reflected in the bedrooms. The restaurant – which shares the beautiful views of the Ruesga reservoir – offers delicious country cooking, for example, Sopa de ajo Burgalesa (garlic soup), regional sausages, Trucha con torreznos (trout served with bacon) and Leche frita (literally ‘fried milk’, but don’t be put off – it’s a delicious dessert with custard, cinnamon and caramel). The Parador is an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding lakes, as well as, a little further afield, the magnificent mountains of the Picos de Europa.

There is garage parking at this Parador.
