Santa Inés Rural Hotel

On the way out of Vinuesa

Santa Inés is a rural hotel in the La Rambla area, on the way out of Vinuesa towards the Laguna Negra. According to its entry in the Turismo de Castilla y León register, it has 20 rooms for 40 people: 2 singles, 16 doubles and 2 triples, plus three extra beds, useful if you are travelling with children. It holds the Castilla y León tourist trust seal.

The hotel has no website of its own with information on rooms, services or prices. The web address given by the official register leads to the page of another hotel in the village, so the safe thing is to ask directly: phone 667 25 26 87 and email [email protected]. Ask about breakfast, parking, whether pets are accepted and check-in and check-out times, because they are not published in official sources.

For the lake

Its location is its main argument: it is on the way to the lake, so you set out early and arrive before the upper car park fills. The Laguna Negra is about 18 kilometres from Vinuesa on the road leaving the village. At Easter, on long weekends and in summer the Junta usually regulates access: the upper car park is closed to private cars, you leave the car in the paid Paso de la Serrá car park and go up by shuttle bus or on foot by the Senda del Arroyo, 1.7 kilometres with 218 metres of ascent. Each year's dates and rates are confirmed at the Casa del Parque (975 18 22 68).

For foggy or rainy days, the Casa del Parque, on the same road, explains the formation of the Urbión glacial cirques and is where to ask about the state of the routes. In November 2026 it is open on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 to 14:00; in July and August, every day from 10:00 to 19:00. From the village there is also the PRC-SO 43, a 2.9-kilometre circular walk of low difficulty.

Who it suits

It suits those who want to sleep near the lake to make an early start and families who need a triple or an extra bed. For dinner, the centre of Vinuesa is a short drive away.
