Potes

Travel Guide
Photo by Luis
Potes is a beautiful enclave that offers great food, buildings that will take you back to ancient times and routes through the countryside that will take your breath away.

In Potes you can enjoy traditional food full of local charm, sandwiches of all kinds, grills, churros, cafés and even whisky houses. Its Gothic buildings will take you back to the Middle Ages and the mountain routes will let you admire the most beautiful, verdant nature of its surroundings.

It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful towns in Cantabria. Its geographical characteristics and the limited public transport connections mean the best and almost only option to enjoy a holiday in Potes is to get there by car from Santander. Santander, on the other hand, can be reached easily by plane or train.

As for accommodation, you'll find a long list of hostels and guesthouses at more than reasonable prices, where you can savour a delicious Cantabrian meal. Of course, you can also enjoy it in any of the local restaurants or bars you find during your visit.

This idyllic Spanish town offers buildings of great beauty that are sure to captivate you. One of the highlights is the Torre del Infantado, the most emblematic building of the town, which years ago was the house of the Marquis de Santillana. It's a 15th century tower house that is well worth a visit. There is also plenty of religious architecture in the town. With our cheap trips to Potes, you can visit two churches dedicated to San Vicente: the oldest one, from the 14th century, and the newest one, which began construction towards the end of the 19th century. You will also find two small shrines: that of La Virgen del Camino and La Virgen de Valmayor.

However, the architecture is not the only attraction: with our package deals to Potes you can enjoy nature walks that will take your breath away. Lush green and animals grazing happily wherever you look, no matter if you head to the north, south, east or west. There's natural beauty all around you!

If you need to disconnect from the city noise, lose yourself and connect with nature, Potes is the destination for you.
