You are invited to enjoy the scenery and go for a wander, for the less adventurous you are welcome to join us in the snug area and experience bar games, television and the local regional newspapers.

Neighborhood info

Whilst we hope you stay locally and enjoy the hospitality, the owners of the Old school suggest three other destinations within 30 minutes drive, these are; Cabarceno, this wildlife park is worth a visit, with wild animals free to roam in their natural habitat. We can offer family discounted tickets when booked with us in advance. Enjoy the stunning white sandy beach contrasting the turquoise blue sea at Somo, Loredo and ''El Puntal". Finally we have Lierganes, the most stunning spanish town, built over 500 years ago, marvel in the authentic architecture of this medieval settlement, including the famous Roman bridge over the river Miera.
