We stayed here for two nights earlier this month (September 2018), at the end of a walking holiday in the Picos de Europa. As it isn't in the mountains we thought we might be a little disappointed but it was fabulous. Blanca is a most welcoming hostess and Lucas cooks up an excellent dinner (no choice, but he checks beforehand that it will be OK with you). It is a very peaceful spot between the mountains and the sea, the buildings are modern and interesting (inside and out),the room was very comfortable, the bar is well stocked and the breakfasts were fabulous.||It takes under an hour to walk into the lovely coastal town of Llanes. Very cleverly, there is a riverside path from the very centre of town into the countryside, so no dull trek through the suburbs required. Llanes has a lovely harbour, a town centre beach, beautiful coastal walks east and west, and great views inland to the mountains. And lots of bars, cafes, delicatessens and exquisite cake shops!||North Spain is well known to be prone to unsettled weather, which means fabulous spots like the Posada de Babel remain havens of peace and quiet and offer great value for money. And of course the wet but warm climate and the proximity to the sea means great local produce forms the basis of your meals.
