If El Gaitero is factory cider, Cortina is the family cider mill. In Amandi, on the edge of Villaviciosa, the Llagar de la Ferrería makes natural cider with Designation of Origin and ice cider, and shows how in a visit that ends where it should: with a culín drawn straight from the barrel.
What is included
It starts in the visitor centre with a video about the making. Then you tour the cider mill: the apple, the pressing, the barrels, the curiosities and myths of Asturian cider. At the end there is a culín drawn from the barrel, a tasting of Cortina ice cider and a sampling of artisan cheeses from the Cider Region. You take home the screen-printed glass.
Price and booking
It costs €10 per adult. Book on their website, in the sidraturismo section: when you choose the date only the times with places appear, and if one does not show it is full. The website does not publish the duration or fixed timetable; if you have doubts, the cider mill answers on 985 893 200.
Eating afterwards
The house cider house, Casa Cortina, is a few metres away, at number 41 on the same street, with a covered terrace, garden and children's area, and serves the cider mill's cider. It is open Tuesday to Sunday; closed on Mondays. If you want to see the industrial scale of the same drink, the El Gaitero visit is on the other side of the town.
