Potes is located in the centre of the Picos de Europa. It´s highlty recommeded a trip there because the landscapes are impressive. The town is traditional but quite big and it´s surronded by mountains and near you can visit Santo Toribio Monastery, you can walk from Potes centre to there and from there you can ask for the Cueva Santa, that´s a nice walk not very far away in the mountains.
The big problem is the transport, if you have your own car you can plan a trip to Fuente De (there you can take a cable car to the mountains) and some traditionals towns including Potes, also you can visit Santo Toribio Monastery, Piasca Church and Lebeña Church in one day if you start early. Another option is an organised trip there but it´s only available in the summer, you can buy the tickets in one travel office in the Santander city centre. If you are not lucky you can take a bus to Santander, one hour and a half and then find accomodation there or return in the last bus in the evening. It takes 1 hour and a half from Santander and there are buses conections to Fuente De, for more information you can check Palomera buses in the Santander bus station.. Unfortunately the first bus is at 10: 30 in the morning and you will arrive to Potes at 13:00, this bus continues to Fuente De and you will get there at 13:30. So as to return the last bus goes at 17:00 from Fuente De and 17:30 from Potes, so with timetable is almost imposible to take the cable car and have a walk in the mountain , unless you stay one night in Potes and you take to Fuente De the fist bus at 8:30 from Potes, you will have plenty of time in the mountains. Anyway check the bus timetable and, be carefull, this bus to Fuente De is only in the summer. This bus option is good for one day trip to Potes, eat there, visit the torn and walk to the Santo Toribio Monastery and from there visit maybe the Cueva Santa or start the route so as to enjoy the views and return to Potes in order to take the last bus.
