About the place

The town of Potes is a historic settlement where the architecture is shaped by the meeting of four valleys and two rivers. The old quarter features narrow cobbled streets and stone mansions adorned with ancestral coats of arms. Its most prominent landmark is the Torre del Infantado, a robust 15th-century stone tower that once served as a prison and a noble residence. The town preserves the authentic atmosphere of a medieval trading hub, characterized by numerous stone bridges and arcaded walkways over mountain streams. Beyond its architecture, the town is a renowned gastronomic destination, famous for its production of orujo liqueur and hearty local cuisine.
