Smartbazza and I are heading to Picos 9th July for 10 nights. What is the one thing you would not want to miss? Can be a road/town/experience.

In what way ?
Having stayed in hundreds of hotels all over the world , I’d put it in my top three, regardless of price,which is very reasonable.
It has a great location, comfy rooms, lovely food, and amazing staff most who have been there since I first went about a decade ago.
Fabulous place .

Prefer Potes myself
 
P210 road from Riano to Cervera de Pisuerga.

Goes around a massive reservoir and has some great Miradors (viewpoints). A lot quieter than roads further north.

Ah, it is closed this year. Many Paradores are having extensive renovations on a rotation.

27km further east is this quirky place in a monastery - Aguilar de Campoo is a pleasant town with a choice of bars etc, although the hotel restaurant was okay with a cheap fixed price menu.

Then ride this route north https://maps.app.goo.gl/TourHhrhxctsbHU17 - it's a place I have used as a last night before a 4pm ferry home from Santander.
