Scenic route along the river Kares to the famous Kavadong cave - the heart of Asturias, Pelayo church and the path to the tiny medieval town of Potes. On the way, before sunset, we made a five-minute hike on a suspension bridge over the river Kares. The sun was setting at sunset, the forest and the rocks were painted in soft tones, the real smooth surface of oxen and the cool karst cave - such a real Asturian landscape :) Translated with Google Translate

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.
