Fodor's Expert Review Parador de Fuente Dé
Ctra. de Fuente Dé s/n, Potes, Cantabria, 39588, Spain
Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.
Although there's a good restaurant, this modern parador is somewhat spartan, but it's still a fine no-frills base for serious climbers and walkers. The kitchen can restore your energy with dishes such as cocido lebaniego (a sturdy local stew) and steaks topped with Cabrales, a local blue cheese. The parador is east of the Cantabrian border, in a valley beside the cable car that ascends a soaring rock face to 2,705 feet in about four minutes.
PROS
- mountainside location
- next to cable car
CONS
- simply furnished
- limited access in winter snow
