Stories of Liébana

Stories of Liébana

The brilliance, both historical and legendary, of this ancient monastery, located in an idyllic corner of the Picos de Europa, very close to the beautiful town of Potes, continues to be so impressive that, in modern times, there were even foreign expeditions, well equipped and financed, who traveled here in search of one of the most disconcerting and desired objects of Antiquity: the Ark of the Covenant.


Believe it or not, and regardless of whether they left empty-handed, the truth, however, is that both dreaming and having unwavering faith can move mountains. Something that the pilgrims who arrive to this happy region of Liébana know very well, after traveling a tortuous mountain path, where they will not find the Ark of the Covenant, a detail that matters little, since, in reality, they are not looking for it, but they are On the contrary, the largest known fragment of a symbol of Christianity: the True Cross or Cross where Christ was crucified.
