Image of a large valley with different green farms, some with houses, and separated by trees. The valley rises behind with more wooded area, and different darker greens to end with a gentle rolling hill. Behind, the impressive mass of the snow-capped Picos de Europa appears contrasting with the rest of the landscape.

Cabranes

Exemplary, rural, with a flavour of rice pudding and bourbon, with lush forests and generous meadows, a place of tranquillity and rural silence. This is Cabranes, with N of course.
Photograph of Santa Eulalia de Cabranes in the middle of the valley, a group of white houses with red roofs are placed towards the slope on the left. Surrounded by green meadows. In the foreground you can see some farms with cows grazing and in the background a higher mountain range with bluish tones similar to the sky.
Image of Torazu, an Asturian village with typical Asturian houses with red roofs, some white, others mustard-coloured, some with galleries, others with typical wooden corridors, and there are also some hórreo (granaries). In the centre stands the village church with its bell tower. At the top of the village there is a hill with trees. The sky is clear.
Lovely photograph of a landscape at dawn in which the sun breaks through a light mist, and its rays penetrate between the branches of the tree in the foreground, over a green meadow, with a hill in the background full of trees adorned by the sun's rays at dawn.
View from the side of the church of Viñón, in the middle of green meadows with some autumn trees. The church is light brown with dark red roofs and a bell tower with two bells at the front. In front is a traditional hórreo (granary). Behind it on the mountain you can see more houses dotted across the meadows.

Info

Nature, meadows, bucolic forests, a paradise of tranquillity. To say Cabranes transports us to a universe where we can enjoy the best rural Romanesque architecture, as in the case of San Julián de Viñón, and also the Rural School Museum or Indian environments in which the mark of emigration has been imprinted. Furthermore, Cabranes tastes of good gastronomy and tradition. To taste the authentic Asturian rice pudding, a key reference point is its rice pudding festival , although there are also other outstanding ones such as the Boroña de Forna.

But Cabranes does not only cultivate culinary tradition, and so if we are talking about bouquets and floats, those of its festivals are famous throughout Asturias, which is why the people of Cabranes are also a reference point in this manifestation of traditional culture. As a village, its neighbourhood union and its capacity to manage the territory harmoniously has been recognised through the award of the Exemplary Village of Asturias by the Princess of Asturias Foundation to the village of Torazu. In short, a council to discover that allows you to enjoy all the flavour of Asturias, in the heart of the Cider Region.
