Casa Cuevas — Restaurant in Posada de Valdeón

We wanted to walk the Garganta de Cares and this is the way to do it.

There is not much here - a few places to stay and a couple of restaurants - but the real key is (a) you can park for the gorge as you're already there, and (b) you can start the walk before the thousands of other people arrive and ruin everything.

There is a fountain in the square too with lovely mountain water - don't buy water, but fill up your bottles here. The staff are very rough and ready - don't expect great or speedy service here - but they are friendly.||The restaurant downstairs is fine - good food and good value, but it seems to open when they feel like it, so ask if it looks closed and they are very...
