We visited Potes back in 2013 on our motorbike and liked the area so decided to re-visit. However, the campervan explosion has happened since and the place was rammed, so we didn't stay very long.
We stayed at the same campsite, La Viorna, with stunning mountain views and a lovely pool.

From Potes we drove west into a less touristy area and stayed at a new Municipal campsite at Villamorey.
A short drive from here is the Ruta del Alba hike up a gorge to a Refugio Cruz de los Rios - a refuge at the crossing of two rivers. It was a lovely hike but right at the limit of what Phil's hip can do! Here are some pics.

We had hoped to stop for a night in Somiedo Nature Park but the campsite we liked was closed for a few days and the other one was a bit oppressive, so we moved on. Maybe another time because there is the possibility of seeing some bears in the Park.
On route to a cash machine!
