A trip through Asturias that will be unforgettable for those who receive it as a gift, especially because it will be a continuous discovery of places, landscapes, nature, towns and cities, succulent gastronomy and different activities, depending on personal preferences. A universe of sensations for a very special gift à la carte.

Asturian Cider Culture is not just a drink: it is tradition, landscapes, community, history. For all these reasons and more, UNESCO has declared it Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Through Asturias Cider Tourism, you can experience cider in its most authentic context - visit pumaradas, traditional cider presses, participate in the "escanciado", or taste local products in the framework of an espicha -, and at the same time enjoy sustainable and rural tourism with an Asturian stamp.

So a great idea for the festive season is to give experiences(opens in a new tab) and cider getaways(opens in a new tab).

Asturian Cider Culture is also a Christmas heritage!

Asturian gastronomy is always a welcome gift and even more so at this time of year. So one of the best ways to pleasantly surprise those around you is with a tasty detail, and you can make this a reality with the Gijón Gourmet Menu(opens in a new tab), a unique opportunity to try the most avant-garde specialities and creations of Gijón/Xixón cuisine in 5 of the city's most emblematic restaurants: Auga (1 Michelin star), Bellavista, Ciudadela, V. Crespo, and Zascandil.

Gourmet gifts are the tastiest!
