"Potes sits at the point where four valleys, as well as the Deva and Quiviesa rivers converge, just on the edge of the grand Picos de Europa Natural Park. It was named Rural Tourism Capital 2020, but five years on and it still has a lot to offer the visitor. The quaint village is known as the town of bridges and towers, because of its interesting architectural heritage, where colourful houses sit either side of the river with charming wooden balconies."
Much of rural Spain remains largely undiscovered by tourism and many foreign residents, with extensive underpopulated areas known as La España Vaciada. Seventy-nine percent of municipalities contain just 10.4 percent of the population, creating quiet villages with charming architecture, natural wonders and unique local culture. Such villages offer peaceful lifestyles and welcoming communities attractive for holidays, second homes or relocation. Potes in Cantabria sits where four valleys meet near Picos de Europa, noted for bridges, towers, colourful houses with wooden balconies and regional cocido lebaniego stew. La Alberca in Salamanca and other western villages also reflect historic heritage and cross-cultural influences.
