Sidra El Gaitero
El Gaitero is Asturias's best-known sparkling cider brand, and its cider house is at La Espuncia, on the outskirts of Villaviciosa, next to the ría. From there it organises guided visits to its cellars and to a permanent collection on the history of the house and of cider-making.
What the visit is like
It lasts about an hour and a half and includes the cellar, the permanent collection and a tasting of its ciders. Part of the route is outdoors, so on rainy days bring an umbrella or waterproof. It is wheelchair accessible.
