Our third son, Andreu, was born on August 28, 2007. Since 2008 we have spent a few days at Monte Alba coinciding with his birthday. It is the most important unmissable event of the summer. We usually eat the cake with blueberries in the prairie of Llanos del Hospital. The hotel's entertainment staff, Elena and Arantxa, congratulate him every year with a happy birthday song at the bar. One year since we did not go to the evening soiree, they left him the birthday diploma at breakfast the next day and we were very excited. He loves the welcome cocktail (non-alcoholic), the contests and the magic potion night, although he has to have a soda because rum, he can't. The first years we participated in the magnificent free excursions organized by the hotel (Botanical route, the Boom waterfalls, Eriste, etc.) but over the time we have dared to other longer ones (Gorgutes, Salvaguarda, Lliterola...) that have allowed us to continue falling in love with the Benasque Valley. In short, our family relates the stay at Monte Alba with Andreu's birthday. For us, spending a few days surrounded by nature, good food and pleasant entertainment is the best birthday present. Andreu is and will always be one of the best ambassadors of Evenia Monte Alba.

I have been coming to ski for several years, but two years ago, I met a new receptionist, who was very nice, and since she was arriving for the first season, she was looking for a bit of reference, just like me, who was alone and looking for a contact to talk. And we got to know each other, talking about banalities at first, and as the days went by, we talked, as if we were discovering each other's life very discreetly. Every time I felt more as if I had had a meeting of those to be remembered, THE meeting... I cannot even say what feeling it had produced in me, but it was very pure and sincere. On the day of departure, I felt that the end of a wonderful adventure was approaching and I left. I remember I was listening to a Muse CD in the car, and the more I drove, the louder the sound got, like she was going to keep hearing me even after I left. I was ready to stop and go back to the hotel, as if my life were changing... And I told myself that next year I would meet her again, like every year with some of the staff. But last year, I didn't come back, the covid wanted it differently... A wonderful memory, like in a dream, in which you can't wait to fall asleep the next night to come back... And I tell myself that, even if my story is not preserved, I would have paid tribute to this person, whose first name I did not even remember, because it was really an unforgettable memory that marked me deeply.

My memory is not an important event in itself... my memory is EVERYTHING, from the first day when I enter the room with my children, the views, the tranquility, the food, the excursions, the rivers, the waterfalls, the air breeze... my memory of watching my children play on the football field covered with natural grass. My memory is one of my best vacations and one that I will never forget.

After an incredible day of skiing, and a delicious and abundant dinner, I just wanted to go to bed to rest until the next day. In the hall we saw the announcement that that night there was a quiz about music and we decided to go... we had a good time! The entertainer was great and the atmosphere that was created between groups of different guests, very funny! I will never forget that night, especially because we won and they invited us to a bottle of cava!

Belén

I remember that it was our first trip with my daughter, who had just learned to walk and we went to your hotel, and she had a great time with the entertainment at night, the night excursions, well and we enjoyed it as much or more than she did. We hope to come back soon.

César

A wonderful stay during the winter, the whole family together, enjoying skiing with the children, relaxing in the heated pool with snow around it and in the entertainment and animation in the Monte Alba hotel lounge in Cerler.

Marta

Meeting people from different parts of Spain, but what we remember the most is the familiar treatment of all its workers. We loved it that is why we have repeated several years.

Valentina

We had some wonderful days of skiing, the hotel facilities were very comfortable, the dinner and breakfast services were very good, as well as the attention of all the staff, we will come back.

The first memory I have of Evenia Monte Alba is from August 1, 1975, when we arrived at the hotel with my parents and siblings to spend the entire month of August. It was a great success to get there: the asphalt road ended when you reached the town of Cerler and then we had the doubt to continue along the unpaved road to see if we could find it: and we found it! I can tell you that it is a magical hotel, where I have been to spend every summer since then... and we have been 45 years. I was 15 the first time I went and now I am about to turn 61. The most beautiful thing is that first I went with my parents and siblings, then with my partner and wife, then with my children and now we go with the grandchildren: 4 generations without interruptions. Among the magical memories lived, I remember July 25, 1978, my 18th birthday. My father could not think of anything else than to travel that same day to the Hotel Monte Alba. No celebrations with my friends or anything else: traveling all day with the car (before the roads were not very good and it took us a long time to get there, eating on the way). I was very angry and I did not open my mouth throughout the trip or when we arrive at the Hotel for dinner. Then there was no buffet and it was served at the table. Everything changed when, a the desserts, the two waiters and the dining room staff bring a large cake with 18 candles: I was not expecting it. My parents prepared everything with the hotel staff. It was super emotional and it changed my perception of that day. Other and also magical memories: during the stay in August 1990, my eldest son learned to walk. Imagine that, at 11 months, he started walking on the lawn of our Hotel. We could not believe it. But the best thing is that 29 years later, his eldest son (my first grandson), also 11 months old, learns to walk on the lawn of the Hotel Monte Alba in August 2019. We do not have a second residence and we do not need it: our second home is Evenia Monte Alba.

Our first trip to the snow with swimsuits in the suitcase!!! We never imagined it, but it was the first time that we took our two-year-old daughter on a snow trip and dependent on the weather and with the services of Evenia Monte Alba, we packed a different suitcase to the rest of the trips we had made in all the winters of our life. Finally, Evenia Monte Alba and its people made us spend much more time with them than with the snow, who cares about the time!
