Complejo Puente Romano

At the foot of the resort

Puente Romano covers more than 12,000 m² at Riaño, in the Hermandad de Campoo de Suso, where the rivers Híjar and Guares meet, in the upper part of the Campoo valley. The resort's website places it about 12 km from the Alto Campoo slopes, on the same road that climbs from Reinosa. It is a rural complex with several types of accommodation, its own restaurant and ample parking, designed both for skiers in winter and for families looking for river and mountain in summer.

The accommodation

The complex combines five formats, all with heating, television and wifi:

• Rural inn: seven rooms in a stone building, with timber beams and attic ceilings; three have a hydromassage bath.
• Apartments: two, for four people, with a lounge, two bedrooms (one with a double bed and another with two beds), open-plan kitchen, bathroom, washing machine and a separate entrance.
• Stone cabins: seven, for six people, with a fireplace, two bedrooms, a double sofa bed in the lounge and a fully equipped kitchen.
• Wooden cabins: eight, for four people, with a fireplace, one bedroom, a double sofa bed, a kitchen and a porch with garden furniture.
• Campsite: pitches for a tent, caravan or motorhome.

The kitchens in the apartments and cabins have a fridge, microwave, ceramic hob, utensils, toaster and coffee machine, so you can make your own meals without depending on the restaurant. For a family with children, the stone cabins are the option with the most space.

Prices

The website publishes rates per night including VAT, in low and high season. The inn's double room costs €66 or €77; with breakfast, €77 or €88; and on half board, €99 or €110. The double with hydromassage adds €11 in each case. The apartments cost €132 or €143; the stone cabins, €154 or €165; and the wooden ones, €99 or €110. At the campsite you pay per person and vehicle: €6 for an adult, €5 for a child, €5 for a car, €5 to €8 for a tent, €7 for electricity, €13 for a caravan and €15 for a motorhome. It does not say on which dates each season begins nor the minimum stay: ask when you book.

The complex advertises a spa with an indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam bath and heated loungers, but its website still marks it as "coming soon": do not count on it.

What to do from here

In winter, the resort is a quarter of an hour by car; bring chains, because the road rises above 1,600 metres, and check the Calgosa car park before going up at the weekend. In summer you can go up on the chairlift towards Tres Mares or go down to the source of the Ebro at Fontibre. For dinner without taking the car, the complex's restaurant serves cocido montañés and roast lamb.
