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.

Stone Bridge of Potes

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful town known as the town of the bridges (hence its name) and the towers, which has already been mentioned in documents since the mid-9th century and since the final years of the Middle Ages it was linked to the Casa del Marqués de Santillana, first, and to that of the Infantado, later. Hence, one of those that stands out is that of the Infantado (now the venue for exhibitions), and also that of Orejón de la Lama, both from the 15th century.
