Algunos sitios dónde comer bien y cerca de Trefacio.
A few places to enjoy a good meal not far from Trefacio.
There is a small bar/pub in the village that serves amazing pinchos (meat skewers), great montados (small sandwiches on baguette bread), really tasty tortilla de patatas, and some more tapas to share. It's super affordable and they are lovely. If you go there for breakfast, ask for a pastry and honey pastelito 😋

This is just a couple of km away from the house. Great Chicago style pizzas. They are fully loaded,no kidding! One pizza feeds two ravenous people, or three less hungry ones. They also serve regional dishes. In the late summer!/autumn try whatever they offer with mushrooms, you won't regret it! If you visit this during the summer, consider making a reservation. Take away is also possible.

This place offers some of the best views of El Lago. Their food and service are of excellent quality and super fresh. The price reflects this but it's not too bad, middle range I would say (25-30€ per person).

This place is right next to the beach and you can sit on the shade of local trees. It's a very good option if you don't want to pack your lunch. Their tapas are OK, so I recommend you go for the pepito de ternera (steak sandwich on baguette bread) or for their hamburgers (made with local steak meat). Prices are OK, service could better but it's very convenient.

Sightseeing
This is a experience you won't forget. It's better to visit on a cloudy/rainy day as the wolves will be more likely to be down by the sighting points. The guides will talk in Spanish only but even if you don't understand the language, seeing wolves 30cm away from you is something truly special.

My favourite beach. It's shady and surrounded by trees. If you like sunbathing, there is plenty of space for that too!

Although some may find the path a bit challenging (it's steep and muddy at times), the effort is definitely worth it. At the top you won't be only able to see the breathtaking falls, but also you will be able to swim on the natural stone pools (if you dare of course, as the water is chilly!).
