Historic center of Potes

Highlight • Settlement

Potes is one of the most beautiful towns in Cantabria and Spain. It has a privileged position to visit the Picos de Europa. It is near the point of arrival of the Camino Lebaniego and frankly, it is worth staying there at night to rest and take advantage of its restaurants and its small streets.

Potes Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Surrounded by a spectacular landscape and located at the confluence of the four valleys of the Region, Potes is known as the town of bridges (hence its name) and towers. Its narrow streets and mansions (most with coats of arms) help to imagine past times full of history. One of the most relevant aspects of Potes is gastronomy and the cocido lebaniego is one of its culinary stars.

There are very steep parts and there was a lot of sun, so bring a hat and a lot of water.

June 17, 2026,Historic center of Potes – Infantado Tower loop from Potes

Looking for a lowish gear walk with more modest climbs this isnt too shabby. It starts from Potes and heads out on a quiet bacroad following the Camino Lebaniego route before heading up onto the hills. Theres few way markers sbout so need to watch a bit..We overshot the turning so had to head back before picking the route up. …
