Spain: The N-621 through Panes & Potes

11 Apr 2023 12:55 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

If travelling from Santander take exit 272 from the A8 towards Unquare/Panes/Potes/Picos de Europa to join the N-621.

The first section of the road is sweeping bends through villages but soon starts to give you views of the mountains ahead. After Panes the bends become tighter and the road follows the river.  

After entering Potes the road bends to the left signed N-621 La Vega, but we recommend continuing straight on into the centre of Potes following the road to the right over the bridge were you will find a large free car park.  There are plenty of cafes and shops here to take a break.

Turning right out of the carpark will take you along to the Picos Mountains where the road ends at the Parador de Fuente Dé (see Aston friendly places) and a cable car to the top.  

If you retrace your steps to the junction for the N-621 you will be rewarded with around 50 miles of bending mountain roads with several viewing points to stop and admire the view. 

From the top the road continues to bend around through tunnels and across a river ending at Cisterierna.

A few views you can enjoy along the road:
