The first gate to the Cares
The Mirador de Cabrales is at Puente Poncebos, the place where the Cares trail to Caín begins and where the Bulnes funicular leaves. Arenas de Cabrales is about ten minutes by car; Camarmeña, the village above, 1.6 km; Cangas de Onís 37 km and Covadonga 38. It is the hotel the Asturian chain Arcea has in Cabrales, with two stars.
What justifies sleeping here is the start time. In summer Poncebos fills up early, the car park runs out soon and the buses arrive; from the hotel you start walking when you like and return without thinking about the car, which you leave in its outdoor car park.
Three room types, all with a bath
Turismo Asturias counts 24 rooms and 44 places. The website distinguishes the single, with one bed; the double, with two beds; and the double with extra bed, with three beds for three people. The rooms have a desk, television, heating, tiled floor, wake-up service, toiletries and a bathroom with bath and shower and bidet.
The website does not publish fixed rates: the price comes up when you enter dates in its search engine, with no booking fees. It offers late check-out. Turismo Asturias records rates with breakfast and room only; confirm what yours includes when you book.
The cider house and the rest of the house
The hotel has its own cider house, with Asturian cooking, and a café bar. There is a small reading and games room with press, books and board games, a laundry, a safe, tourist information and rooms for celebrations. Reception is open 24 hours, useful if you come down late from Bulnes or the Cares. Turismo Asturias also lists a closed bike store and a bike-washing area.
Pets are welcome, according to the website; it publishes no supplement or limits, so ask when you book.
When it is open
It opens in the Cares season. According to Turismo Asturias, it closes from 13 October to 22 March, so between November and March look for a bed in Sotres, at Casa Cipriano, which closes only on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day; in Arenas, the Hotel Torrecerredo is open until 6 January. For Easter and summer, book early: it is the accommodation closest to the start of the trail.
