The mountain refuge of Vegabaño is located in the occidental range of the Picos Europa nestled in a meadow at 1432 metres. You can stop here for some food or drinks or stay for the night (make sure you have a reservation)

Majada de Vegabaño

I can say that Vegabaño is one of the most beautiful and charming places I have ever been to. Located in the heart of the Picos de Europa, nestled in a meadow at 1,432 metres above sea level and surrounded by beech and oak forests, this mountain refuge is located. Vegabaño is a little-known and little-frequented paradise, perhaps that is where its charm lies. A place where time stands still and where geology, flora and fauna reach their maximum expression.

Vegabaño offers us the possibility of experiencing nature in a special way, surrounded at all times by an incomparable setting and where one is able to find the link between man and nature. A place with easy access to the Refuge where everyone is welcome, and where Julián and Nuria make sure you feel like family, and I can attest that they succeed. An unbeatable option, even for a day out. You can get to Soto by car and take the track to the refuge meadow.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the shelter out of season (when it is closed and not managed)?
