Puerto de San Glorio is a nice and easy climb. Don't forget to turn off at the top and continue the climb to Collado de Llesba. Via a short irregular climb you reach the statue of a bear, symbol of the Picos de Europa. From here you have a beautiful view of the col and the Picos. For those who still have energy: descend back towards Potes but turn right in La Vega and climb in the side valley in a beautiful setting to Dobres and Cucayo, good for another 500 altimeters.
