Guided Tour of Picos de Europa National Park, Monastery of Santo Toribio & Potes

Begin your journey with a drive through the striking scenery of Cantabria, winding your way past raging rivers, lush forests, picturesque villages, and all the impressive beauty of the Picos de Europa mountain range.
When you've arrived at Fuente Dé and the famous Hermida Gorge, take some time to either ride the cable car to the upper station at 6,000 feet above sea level for panoramic views of the rugged region around you or simply walk around the wooded area above the gorge.
Continue to the Monastery of Santo Toribio, considered one of Christianity's 4 Holy Places, and a resting place for the Lignum Crucis as well as an active Franciscan monastery.
The Lignum Crucis is the largest and most well-preserved piece of wood from the cross that Jesus was rumored to be crucified on and is a key Christian relic.
Stroll to the viewpoint of the Hermitage de San Miguel, close to the monastery and offering beautiful views of Picos unfolding far below you.
The last adventure of the day takes place in Potes, the capital of Liébana, and often dubbed the most beautiful town in all of Spain.
Walk the cobblestone streets for a guided tour of the architecture and history of Potes, admiring the many bridges and the medieval tower, Torre de Infantado before you take some free time.
You can use the time to eat, check out the artisanal shops that line the streets, or buy some souvenirs before your tour ends.
