Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Riofabar is a useful reference point for nature destinations near La Pesanca: the riverside recreation area is close to the village, and the access road via the PI-4 passes through Riofabar. The surrounding area offers different themes to choose from: a meadow beside the Infierno River, a wooded arboretum and routes with named destinations. This lets you decide whether to focus your stay on the landscape, the trees or a hike.

River Landscape and Arboretum

The La Pesanca recreation area is on a meadow beside the Infierno River, between the Aves and Gibladiella mountain ranges. The meadow, river and mountain ranges give this excursion destination its distinctive landscape. The Arboreto de Miera, a wooded area mainly featuring native oaks and chestnut trees, is nearby. It is considered botanically interesting. The two places offer different focuses: La Pesanca is a riverside recreation area, while the arboretum draws attention to the forest and tree species. When choosing nature destinations, you can therefore distinguish between a river landscape and botanical interest.

Choose Hiking Routes by Destination

The PR-AS 289 route to Pico Vízcares starts and ends at the La Pesanca recreation area. It is 13.06 kilometres long. The starting point, endpoint and route length for this hike are therefore clearly specified. The distance is not a walking time; plan for the time required separately and check trail conditions before setting out. Another route leads from La Pesanca to Foz de Moñacos and into Redes Natural Park, in the municipality of Caso. The routes differ in their destinations: the PR-AS 289 goes to Pico Vízcares, while the other leads to Foz de Moñacos and Redes Natural Park. You can plan your hike according to the destination you have in mind.

Getting There and Finding Accommodation

The PI-4 passes through Espinaredo and then Riofabar on its way to the La Pesanca recreation area. Check local road conditions before planning your journey. The “Rifabar - Capilla” bus stop is also listed in Riofabar. A transport directory dated November 10, 2025, lists this name; check current bus services before travelling. The stop name uses “Rifabar” rather than “Riofabar.”

If you are looking for a hotel in Riofabar, you can use La Pesanca as a specific nature feature to guide your plans: the recreation area is close to the village, and its riverside meadow and mountain backdrop give it a different focus from the arboretum or the hikes. First consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay. For the PR-AS 289, the route length is an additional planning factor; check trail conditions before setting out.
