Very Nice Spot It would be unfair to say we have the most picturesque spot, as the entire area is beyond doubt, simply stunning. Nevertheless, being located on the outskirts of the village and surrounded by nothing but fields you can be assured a quiet nights sleep. The highest peak in the Picos is the namesake of our hotel and not without reason. The Torrecerredo lies a few kilometres to the south and we are the only hotel to have privileged views of its normally snow-capped summit. We were summed up a few years ago by the Daily Telegraph as "The one star hotel with the five star view"

Dress Code The Torrecerredo, does have formal dress code in its public areas, it would be greatly appreciated if gentlemen would wear a tee shirt and trainers when using The Bar, The Palm Terrace or The Restaurant (DJ´s are not acceptable in these areas unless its Wednesday).

Parking After much deliberation, we decided to scrap the design for the multy storey and subterranean options and go for the more traditional "flat piece of land" type car park. We have capacity for 20 cars and if your arriving on bike (as many people do) we have an undercover bike stand. When in season, feel free to pick the cherries.

Moving up in the world Sorry, we don't have a lift. If you are confined to a wheelchair or simply have difficulty climbing stairs, please ask when booking for one of our ground floor rooms. The lower level garden terrace is serviced by a ramp.

Getting Around We have a fleet of Specialized Rock Hopper front suspension bikes for all our biking trips and when available, for daily hire. If requested, helmets are available (please bring your own gloves). Please take a look at our dedicated biking weeks on the activities page.

Medical Services Arenas is proud to have just opened its brand new medical centre. If you should be taken ill, help is nearby. In addition to any travel insurance you may have, if you are a European citizen, its worth remembering to bring a european medical card (replaces the now defunct E111).

Cultural Differences If you do get caught out and the banks are closed, we will be happy to change money and travelers cheques (as long as we can find the exchange rate on the internet).

Credit Cards We accept most major credit cards. Also, in the village there are three cash dispensers.

The Flora One of our little pride and joys is the garden, which is found on the south side of the building and has the best views of the mountains. It comes complete with a cosy little bar attached and makes a great location for sitting around after a day out, with a cool drink in one hand and watching the world go by on the other. Alternatively, grab some binnies and do a bit of Eagle spotting.

Exotic & dangerous animals Pets are welcome…within reason. Please contact us in advance if you're planning on bringing any exotic or dangerous animals.

Central Heating Outside of the summer months, the often-clear days bring with them, cool evenings. The hotel has central heating through out.

United Nations Between us, we speak no fewer then 5 languages. Spanish, English, German, French and the most widely spoken language in the world....Cantonese.. no longer available.

Nice Views Come and see for yourself, or have alook at our photo galleries

Helping the environment All hot water is provided by solar panels. Not only does this help to save the environment, but its real benefit, is that we've always got plenty of it…when was the last time you got the cold shower…

Animal Rights For the ever-increasing number of vegetarians, we have developed a tasty vegetarian menu. Please note. It's not compulsory to be a vegetarian to ask for it!

And finally to Bed All of our 19 bedrooms are en-suite, have been individually decorated and equipped with colour TV and telephone. Some face out over our terrace, while others have ground floor access.Cots are available on request at no charge (for the cot or the baby)
