La Espuncia is strategically located between the N-632 and Villaviciosa Estuary, a place of extraordinary beauty. The implantation of this factory, which commenced in the late 19th century with the first building for making cider and the cellar, was successively expanded and remodelled in the buildings that were subsequently raised, resulting in a congruous ensemble of particular interest, in harmony with the environment. It also boasts the unique feature of having piers on the longest estuary in Asturias, a listed Nature Reserve thanks to its rich biodiversity of waterfowl.
El Gaitero is more than just a brand and a factory, it symbolizes a family way of doing business, based on a raw material and product directly linked to the natural essence of the land of Asturias, the quintessential cradle of cider. The factory can be visited and is definitely worth discovering so as to understand the essence of Asturias and its history.
