Advantages: Beautiful room with an amazing window Disadvantages: Llanes is a little quiet
Halfway along the Northern coast of Spain, in the province of Asturias, lies the picturesque fishing village of LLANES.
This area around Llanes is typical of the region - hundreds of secluded coves set amidst a backdrop of luscious, verdant vegetation, and framed by a mountain range which runs almost continuously along the whole length of the coast. The mountains save their most spectacular formation for the area immediately to the south of Llanes where they rise up to form the PICOS de EUROPA.
We had continued our journey through 'Green Spain' to the aforementioned village where we had booked a room for a couple of nights at HOTEL LAS ROCAS.

Ponderosa can be found in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire. If coming from Manchester, you need to come off Junction 26 off the M62 then onto the A638 to Cleckheaton. From there the centre is signposted.

♣West Lodge Rural Centre♣
I first discovered West Lodge Rural Centre when my daughter?s school were talking about visiting the ?Farm Park? in Desborough about 5 years ago. I had seen signs for it, but never thought to check it out.
After the school visit, Amy talked avidly about her experiences, and had obviously had a wonderful time, but it wasn?t until 3 years ago that we paid our first visit.
♣How to find it♣
It is quite easy to find. From Leicester on the A6, head towards Kettering, then Rothwell/Desborough. When you reach the Rigid Container Unit just before the Desborough sign, turn left onto the B669. A few hundred yards along this road, turn right. The Rural Centre is along here on the left hand side. The West Lodge Rural Centre is signposted on the brown tourist signs.
From the A14, take ...
