That has been the plan.
@tigerjohn did you eat anywhere near El Gran Sueño that you really liked?
@tigerjohn
Do David and Javier at El Gran Sueño offer evening meals on request?
I think they did at some point but I am not sure they did the last time we were there in 2023. It’s worth checking.
We tend to just drive to restaurants (even 1 hour or 90 min at lunch and so I’m not aware of anything in particular that is close by. I think Casa Marcial might be the closest to El Gran Sueno but that’s 45 min.
Closer to El Gran Sueño would be el Corral del Indianu in Arriondas, but it’s 30 min.
Maribel, what do you think of el Corral del Indianu?
They do serve dinners upon request at El Gran Sueño. We plan to do that one of the nights. They have a list of recommended nearby restaurants on their web site, obviously mostly casual, local places. We will travel for our meals, but plan to do at least 1 day hiking out of the hotel, so I will probably try something very local on that day.
I like el Corral del Indianu but it’s not the incredibly unique experience that the adventure of dining at El Molín de Mingo is by a long shot. Arriondas is not the prettiest town in Asturias but it is the kayaking capital.
You can go a la carta at Indianu. And they do serve a fine fabada.
Anything that would be close to, as in 15 minutes, of Caspio la Vega would be quite casual, not “destination dining”.
I’m not one of those who wants every meal to be destination dining. I prefer a mixture.
As do we. Just want you to know that the area immediately around El Gran Sueño in Infiesto will be casual, family-run places, like the spots that are members of the Club de Guisanderas, which we seek out when dining in the Asturian countryside. Or there will be chigres nearby, Asturian cider houses.
