View of the Riaño Reservoir and Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Possibly the best point of departure and arrival for a road bike route, with destinations to the ports of El Pando, San Glorio, Pandetrave, Panderrueda and Tarna. Many restaurants, bars, cafes and a small supermarket to eat something. There are also hotels and a campsite. I recommend going on the famous swing, but only if there are few people in the queue.

View of the Picos de Europa from Collado de Llesba

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Lliesba viewpoint, on a clear day, you will be able to glimpse peaks such as the Morra de Lechugales or the Sagrado Corazón.

The views from the top are incredible.

Vista de Potes y Picos de Europa

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just as you’re about to pull into Potes there’s a great little platform that looks over the town and the mountain range behind it. They’ve installed a mount for phones so you can easily nab a selfie! Potes in general has a few of these mounts around for great photos — keep an eye out!

Historic center of Potes

Highlight • Settlement

Potes is one of the most beautiful towns in Cantabria and Spain. It has a privileged position to visit the Picos de Europa. It is near the point of arrival of the Camino Lebaniego and frankly, it is worth staying there at night to rest and take advantage of its restaurants and its small streets.

View of Riaño and the Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Riaño, known as the "new Riaño," rises next to the reservoir that bears its name, surrounded by spectacular mountains in the heart of the León mountains. It is a picturesque and strategic location for exploring the surrounding peaks and valleys, as well as the Picos de Europa.
