Potes

Potes combines mountain seclusion with the bustle of a historic market town in a way that reflects its geographic position in Cantabria’s Liébana valley. The town stands where the Quiviesa meets the Deva, beneath the rugged massifs of the Picos de Europa. Narrow lanes, stone houses and wooden balconies gather around the Torre del Infantado, a medieval tower that remains Potes’s defining landmark. The surrounding valley is also associated with orujo de Liébana, a local pomace spirit distilled from grape skins.
