Serviced Apartments in Potes

Potes is a beautiful small town in the north of Spain located between Santander and Gijón. Just an hour from the Bay of Biscay coast, the town has a fantastic location as it is also located between two national parks. Many tourists arrive every year to enjoy the wonderful hiking and scenery of these two parks and use holiday apartments in Potes as their base.

The two national parks in question are the Picos de Europa (Peaks of Europe) and Fuentes Carrionas y Fuente Cobre-Montaña Palentina. Both of these parks are famous for their spectacular mountain ranges and world-class hiking trails. The Peaks of Europe park is so named as it was supposedly the first sight of Europe for ships returning from the Americas. Serviced apartments in Potes are hugely convenient for exploring both of the national parks, and there are cable cars to transport you into the mountains.

The village of Potes in itself is known as one of the most attractive villages in the region of Cantabria. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and with small streams and rivers running throughout, it is an idyllic and picturesque small town. Holiday rentals in Potes are situated in and amongst pretty brickwork townhouses, many bridges and monuments, and narrow lanes. The 15th century Orejón de Lima Tower is one of the most famous landmarks of the Potes, located in the old part of the village.

There is another tower by the name of the Infantado Tower to enjoy, however it is the mountain sports available in the area which draws the most tourists. Hiking, climbing, mountain biking, paragliding and fishing are all available, and there are plenty of tour operators on hand to show you the ropes if you are a novice. Many visitors’ book sightseeing tours into one or both of the national parks, and tour operators will pick you up and drop you off at your apartment rental in Potes for your convenience.

After a hard day of mountain trekking and seeing the sights, there are quite a few local tavernas and restaurants to enjoy, specialising in traditional Spanish cuisine. Regional cuisine makes use of the local game in the area to produce stews and casseroles such as the famous ascocido lebaniego. Also worth a mention is the local traditionally distilled liqueur of asorujo; available in many local restaurants, it can also be purchased from the market every Monday, to be enjoyed back at your Potes self-catered apartment or serviced accommodation.
