....oh, and the WiFi is pants; and yes Martin, we have data but being in a valley, the reception ranges from 4G to zero and is all over the place.

And it’s not a dead end road. Turn tight at Espinama and ride over to Sotres etc

On tarmac, it is............only goes to Fuente De

Is the Espinama trail still open?

EDIT - looks like it is in summer only

Nice Hotel............the del Oso

http://hoteldeloso.es/en/home/

Pity it's up a dead end road though, stayed a few times since 1998

Good food and rooms and log fire in October is a nice feature

Looks fantastic! Yes, fabada is a meal in itself you greedy buggers!

Looks good.. have a good trip gents

Breakfast at the Del Oso certainly lived up to the stories....

And the view at breakfast wasn’t too shabby either...

You were spot on about this place Martin, it’s a lovely hotel, great staff, lovely rooms, nice pool, to die for food and a good location for our ride today.

We’re now by the pool for a relax, then a couple of beers and dinner @ 9....

Can’t take all the credit -it was Engineer who recommended the Del Oso !!
I’m going to try another of his faves in the Vercors instead of the Del Oso in September.

Did you go up the Espinama-Sotres trail ?

Me and Nutty ride up a few kms, and then the cloud started to descend, so we took a couple of pics and headed back to the hotel...

If you had kept going you would have probably been above the cloud.Shame.It’s stunning up there.

Next time I visit Del oso it’s for several nights, so far been 3 times, each for one night only. G&t large bowl of nuts over looking the road on a summers evening, heaven.

Hotel food looks great - I think I'll have to visit it next year.
Do they have weiss or dark beer?

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Been to that hotel twice - first time in 2008

Looks fab as fab as ever

 

[Nutty]

It’s a cracking hotel, the best so far this trip. If anyone is coming here in future, you won’t go hungry, that’s for sure!
