Potes is a historic town located in the Liébana region of Cantabria, northern Spain. Situated at the confluence of the Quiviesa and Deva rivers, this medieval town serves as the capital of the Liébana comarca. The town is characterized by its well-preserved medieval architecture, including the notable Tower of the Infantado (Torre del Infantado), a 15th-century defensive structure that now houses the town hall.
Potes is surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Picos de Europa mountains, which significantly influence the local culture and way of life. The town has historically been an important stop on the pilgrimage route to Santo Toribio de Liébana Monastery, one of the most significant religious sites in northern Spain, where a fragment of the True Cross is said to be preserved.
The local culture is deeply rooted in traditional Cantabrian customs, with the town being known for its regional cuisine, particularly its hearty stews and local spirits like orujo, a grape-based brandy.
