La Balsa is a charming and affordable hotel located midway between Cangas de Onis and Santuario de Covadonga at the entrance to the National Park Picos de Europa in Soto de Cangas, Spain. This rural hotel follows regional architectural design features with Spanish-style roof, beautiful old stone walls, and wood ceilings and window frames. After a long day of travel, unwind on the terrace and admire the gardens and lovely green trees that surround you. The terrace is the ideal spot to sip your coffee and read the paper in the mornings. In the evenings, you can join friends in the bar for cocktails and some good conversation. When you want to get out and explore the area, the hotel staff will be happy to answer your questions and offer tourist information. The hotel is just a few kilometers from Spain’s northern coast, where you can enjoy the sea air; and with its location amidst the mountains, the area is ideal for hiking.
