Picos de Europa & Potes Day Trip

After picking you up from your chosen meeting point, we will start our adventure around Cantabria, crossing rivers, forests, and small villages in the vicinity of the La Hermida Gorge.

Our first stop will be the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana, one of the four Holy Places of Christianity, housing the Lignum Crucis, the largest surviving piece of wood from the Cross of Jesus Christ. We will then visit the viewpoint of the San Miguel Hermitage for views of the Picos de Europa.

Next, we will head to Fuente Dé, where you will have 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to use the Picos de Europa cable car or go horse riding in the natural area.

Our following stop will be Potes, the capital of the Liébana region, noted for the Infantado Tower, bridges, and cobbled streets. You will have around 1 hour and 50 minutes for lunch in Potes, after which we will have a short guided stroll through the village. We should return to the meeting points between 6 and 6:30 pm.
