Parador de Cangas de Onis

MONASTERY OF SAN PEDRO DE VILLANUEVA (12th CENTURY TO 18th CENTURY)

According to tradition, King Alfonso I `The Catholic` constructed this building on 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 (Large-scale selling of State and Church assets). 

The monastery was recognized 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, has comfortable and modern facilities, and it is the ideal starting point from which to discover the delights of the Asturian landscape, and sample the best and most authentic of its rich gastronomic tradition.
