HOTEL ÁLIVA

Right in the heart of the Picos de Europa National Park in Asturias, northern Spain. Simple rooms but in an unbeatable location for observing mountain birds.

The rooms are a little old, not very sound-proof and the beds are a little uncomfortable. The dinner is acceptable but breakfast is a little sparse. Worth it mostly for the location.

Acces to the hotel is by the Fuente Dé cable car or with a 4 x 4 vehicle.

Recommended by Mittal Patel

Hotel located in Matalascañas, at the gates of the Doñana National Park. Very good location to visit the Natural and National Park, 15 km from Rocío, marsh with lots of birds and good place to see, with luck, the Iberian lynx. The Acebuche Center is located halfway between these two locations and the Doñana beach is fantastic to see waders and seabirds. The hotel consists of several types of rooms, from simple to familiar and from different categories. The founder of the establishment is a great connoisseur of the area and especially of its birds. They have all kinds of documentaries, high quality photographic material of the birds that could be observed. They make special price to birders customers.
