Pinsteps. Enrique Ereros: An Artist, Filmmaker, and Adventurer
Places to visit in in Potes Languages: ru, en

This bas-relief honors Enrique Ereros, a renowned Spanish artist, director, and climber, whose life and work were deeply intertwined with Spain’s 20th-century history. A gifted draftsman, he first made a name for himself as a cartoonist and journalist, using his sharp artistic vision to capture the spirit of his time. Ereros had a deep love for the Picos de Europa, and his sketches of the mountain landscapes brought him both recognition and financial success.

During the war years, he escaped to France through San Sebastián, only returning to Spain in the 1950s. A close friend of Pablo Picasso, he played a significant role in the country’s artistic and cultural scene. In the 1960s, he founded a satirical magazine that became widely read across Spain, solidifying his influence as both an artist and a commentator on Spanish society.

Potes

Potes is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Picos de Europa, a medieval town where history and nature blend seamlessly. Surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes, its stone bridges, narrow alleys, and centuries-old buildings whisper stories of traders, warriors, and pilgrims who once passed through. Despite its small size, Potes holds unexpected tales—of noble families, ancient traditions, and even legends lost in the misty peaks. Its cuisine reflects the rugged beauty of the land, with rich stews like cocido lebaniego, hearty cheeses, and locally produced orujo warming the soul. Whether admiring the breathtaking views, wandering through its historic streets, or uncovering its lesser-known past, Potes captivates those who seek both tranquility and adventure.
