Sueño Verde

The site is in the foothills of the Picos de Europa, in the popular destination and outdoor activity centre of the Picos de Europe Regional Park. Local town Boñar is quiet for most of the year then lively in summer, as a popular spot for holidaymakers seeking solace from crowded resorts of northern Spain. Access the regional park via Boñar by the county road LE-331 towards San Isidro port or by the national road N-625 towards Cistierna. If you'd rather amble around town, Boñar is also home to the big town park of El Soto, with public pool, tennis courts, sports fields and the Porma river for boating and fishing. Department capital León is 50 minutes' drive away. As well as its festivals, the city is possibly most famed as a destination on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, but there's plenty to see in town if you don't fancy accessing this most lengthy route. Make for the cathedral first, a spectacular sight built where Roman baths were set centuries before, then wander along the city walls before a look around the main museum or the exhibits at MUSAC, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León.
