The Owner's Problem at Potes and La Liebana
La Liebana is one of the most isolated and most beautiful valleys of Cantabria. Fitted between the Massizo de los Picos de Europa, the Ándara and the Sierra de Peña Sagra, the region has its own microclimate, native vineyards from which the Lebanese catfish come out, and Potes as the natural capital of the whole valley. The Lebanese Way, with its destination at the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana (that preserves what's considered the greatest fragment of the Vera Cruz), attracts pilgrims from across Spain and Europe. The Rig of the Hermosa - one of the most spectacular of the Cantaban Mountains - is inevitable for those who come from Unquera.
And however, there are owners with stone houses in towns of Liébana - Turieno, Lebeña, Cosgaya, Pembes, Mocrovejo - that have been paying IBI for years without a euro. They are heirs living in Santander or Bilbao. They are owners with farms that at some point thought about turning them into rural accommodation but have never been a step forward in processing the license.
Three profiles we found in this area:
- The heir of Santander with house in the valley. The grandfather's house at Turieno or at Cosgaya. Perfect for tourism, stone and garden included. The owner has never been there and doesn't know if it's worth processing his VUT candabra license.
- The farm with the potential of a rural house never been handled. Agricultural properties with living main construction. The owner knows that it could be a rural house, but doesn't know about and has been postponed by the Cantabria Tourism Board.
- The owner who wanted to do Airbnb and did not get to start. He opened a profile and published four photos and put them down. The message management, interstay cleaning and key logistics stopped him. The house's been inactive for months.

A real case in the area
Isabel, a heiress of a stone house in a town of Lebana, signed with Bliss Homes in the spring of 2025. Agreed income: 1.250 € / month during the first year with automatic extension.
The house, four rooms with garden and views of the Macizo Oriental de los Picos de Europa, had been without use for three years. Isabel lives in Santander, visits the valley in summer and has no capacity to manage tourists. He had no VUT license in Cantabria. Bliss visited the property, handled his statement with the Tourism Board of Cantabria in seven weeks, equipped his house with a suit and bed linen, installed a digital lock and published his ads at Airbnb and Booking.
The closeness to the Monastery of Santo Toribio and to the Lebanese Way allows to occupy the property during low-season pilgrims, who seek exactly the accommodation at the house of stone with garden that Elizabeth had closed. Isabel's monthly 1 will be charged on time.
