PARADOR DE CANGAS DE ONÍS ★★★★ Ref HSP018
Tradition has it that King Alfonso I ‘The Catholic’ constructed
this building on 21 February 746, and the excavations
carried out at the start of the refurbishing work to turn it
into a Parador de Turismo confirm this idea. The current
monastery was founded on this site and run by the Order
of San Benito until the Desamortización de 1835 (Largescale
selling of State and Church assets).Two rooms with
archeological remains, pottery in particular, uncovered
during the refurbishing work are testament to this distant
past. The monastery was declared a National Monument in
1907, and features an added wing of perfectly harmonious
architectural and constructional qualities: truly a jewel set on
the green banks of the River Sella, in whose waters the hotel
is reflected. In the background, guests can contemplate the
majestic landscape of the Picos de Europa. This Parador,
featuring comfortable and modern facilities, is the ideal
starting point from which
to discover the delights
of the Asturian landscape,
enjoy its typical festivals
and ancestral folklore
activities and sample the
best and most authentic
of its rich gastronomic
tradition.
