Vicente Campo

Picos de Europa


In business since 1959 in the heart of tiny Espinama, Vicente Campo prepares honest Cantabrian fare making ample use of the family's own livestock, in a bright new dining room. Dishes range from eggs scrambled with asparagus and prawns to grilled steaks with local Tresviso cheese sauce.
