Potes

Four valleys meet at Potes, where the Quiviesa flows into the Deva below the Picos de Europa, and the town has long been the capital of Liébana. The 15th-century Torre del Infantado, a stone cube that became the town hall, rises over a maze of alleys and steps rebuilt after a fire in 1937. A mild microclimate allows vines, and the local orujo has its own festival.
