For lunch you will enjoy a feast for your senses at one of the most unique Michelin restaurants in Spain, "Annua", awarded with 2 Michelin stars. As you dine overlooking the sea in this culinary oasis, you'll be taken on a gastronomic journey experiencing the best produce from this stunning region.
After your meal, you will be driven from the coast through a scenic road to the gates of Picos de Europa National Park. You will sleep in a former monastery beautifully restored into a charming hotel at an idyllic setting.
You are in a region which is the main producer of cider in Spain so the cherry on the cake to this unforgettable day will be an evening cider bar crawl. You will taste apple cider like a local paired with scrumptious tapas.

After an unforgettable morning at the mountains, your adventure will continue at the two-starred Michelin restaurant "Casa Marcial".
This culinary haven, surrounded by mountains just at the gates of Picos de Europa National Park, will take you on a gastronomic journey to Northern Spain as you sample world-class dishes from their tasting menu that combine local produce with tradition and innovation. This type of food & atmosphere is what makes the Michelin restaurants in Spain so different from the rest of Europe, they are not snob or upscale, they just offer local produce beautifully and deliciously prepared with an excellent service.
Your hotel will be a luxury Eco-Resort & Wellness Spa perched on a gently sloping hillside with jaw-dropping views over Picos de Europa National Park. A peaceful retreat, hidden in the mountains, an ideal place to recharge your batteries and enjoy modern luxury surrounded by nature.
