Posada Los Templarios
Choose dates and guestsInformation
The Posada Los Templarios occupies the former priest's house of Ucero, from the 17th century, on the plaza de la Iglesia. The restoration left the limestone walls, almost a metre thick, and the juniper and pine beams exposed. Ucero is the village that acts as the southern gateway to the Río Lobos Canyon, so here you sleep at the entrance to the natural park and not half an hour away.
On foot to the Park House
From the plaza de la Iglesia you walk to the Park House, where almost all visits start, and to the Ucero castle trail, which climbs to the ruins above the village. For the San Bartolomé hermitage and the river trail you take the car a few minutes to the canyon car park, or do it by bike.
Twelve rooms, each with its own bed
The 12 rooms are for two people and the website identifies them by number, with each one's bed: there are standard rooms with a 1.35, 1.50 or 1.80 m bed and one with two 1.05 m beds; number 3 has a sitting room, number 7 is a suite and number 10 has a jacuzzi. If bed size matters to you, choose a number when booking. Rates appear on its booking page, with last-minute offers.
For groups or families who want a house of their own, the inn also rents the Refugio del Cañón, an entire house.
The cave-shaped spa
The spa is for guests only and is built like a cave: a water area, a sensations path, a bi-thermal shower, a cold-water bucket and a sauna. It opens from 11:00 to 23:00, is booked in one-hour slots and costs €20 per person per hour according to the website's description (the header of the same page says €22.50: confirm). Only those over 12 may enter.
Mushrooms and duck at the table
The Los Templarios Restaurant, in the same inn, serves mushroom cooking, with pâtés and duck products from the area.
Bikes, picnics and transfer to the canyon
The inn hires out electric and mountain bikes, prepares picnics, offers transport to the canyon and books activities in the area: hiking in the canyon and on the GR 86, mountain biking, caving and mushroom outings. Ask prices when booking, because it does not publish them.

Tips
- Spa on returning from the canyon Book the spa slot for the afternoon, on your return from the hermitage: it opens until 23:00.
- Picnic for the trail At the bottom of the canyon there is nowhere to buy food: order the picnic the day before.
- Children and the spa With under-12s the spa is not an option: bear this in mind if you are travelling as a family.
