No event is as important and suggestive for a local, as going to the weekly market which takes place every Monday in the village of Potes, where there is also a great activity in the services sector. Attendance to the market appears documented in 1291, when the king Sancho IV, ordered, that people who came to the market were obliged to keep their weapons in the inn until they returned to their homes.Monday market has always been a meeting place for the "lebaniegos", as well as an important point of sale for this land´s magnificent products. The delicious cheeses, where the two origin designations in the region are included: "Picón Bejes-Tresviso" and "Quesucos", apples, pears, cherries and many other fruit varieties, the onions of Bedoya, the walnuts and chestnuts. It is still possible to contemplate many women weighing this products with the old Roman Scales.
