From Potes C 621 runs 25km/15mi west by way of Espinama (fonda), the last village in the valley, to Fuente Dé (alt. 1,000m/3,280ft), where there is a parador. Beside it is the lower station of a cableway which runs steeply up to the Balcón del Cable (alt. 1,840m/6,037ft), from which there are breathtaking views of the mountains. From the upper
station of the cableway a path leads east to Áliva (1,780m/5,840ft); the walk takes one and a half hours. The Balcón del Cable is also a good starting-point for climbs of some of the surrounding peaks (guide essential).
