Potes

Potes stands in the mountain district of Liébana, at the meeting of the Deva and Quiviesa rivers. The medieval Torre del Infantado rises above the town, a reminder of the noble families who held influence in the valley. Nearby, the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana drew pilgrims to its revered relic of the True Cross. The monastery was also home to Beatus of Liébana, whose writings gave the valley a place in the religious history of northern Iberia.
