Activities to enjoy the village of Potes

Potes is one of the most famous villages in the region of Cantabria, and if you finally end up visiting it you will know why. So, if you want to visit the place we recommend staying at the Campsite La Isla Picos de Europa as it is only 2.5 km away.

Once we reach Potes we highly recommend visiting the following attractions:

• The first one, is the Torre del Infantado, which is a 14^th-century tower that up to this day is one of the most important constructions in the Liébana valley.
• The second one, is the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana the perfect place is you enjoy religious tourism. As it has the relic of the Lignum Crucis, which is the largest known piece of the cross where Jesus Christ died. The monastery along with Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostela, and Caravaca de la Cruz is one of the holy places of Christianity.
• The third one, is taking a ride on the cableway of Fuente Dé which will take you to the heart of the Natural Park of Picos de Europa.

What to do and see in Cabuérniga

As we told you before with the Camping El Molino de Cabuérniga, this is the perfect place to enjoy nature to its fullest, not only due to the amenities of the campsite but also because of its location. The Natural Park of Oyambre, and the Natural Reserve del Saja have bast forests of oak, beech, and birch trees. Additionally, we recommend the hike of Las Cascadas de Lamina, which is only 7 km long and it is adequate for all levels.

Finally, if you are not worn out from all the exploring you can always check the “albarcas” a traditional wood footwear that is famously made in Carmona. Another good alternative is to pay a visit to the fishing village of San Vicente de la Barquera, which is perfect since it has the perfect blend of architecture, and beaches.

For the moment we are going to conclude this little post here, but do not worry because we have more posts coming about the beautiful region of Cantabria.

If you are thinking of hitting the road and enjoying an adventure in your motorhome, do not hesitate to contact us.
