Photograph of a square in Nava, in the foreground a sculpture with the letters NAVA, located in a pedestrian square. On the left side some flowers appear wanting to touch the letters. Behind is the maroon-coloured Town Hall building, with flags on a balcony, on the right trees closing the square and some houses leaning out from behind.

Nava

Cider and festival, cider presses, cider houses, very old palaces, the shadow and legend of Dª Jimena, the Sierra de Peñamayor, the rutting, mountains and trails. This is Nava, cider maker, surprising and friendly.
In the foreground a man with his back to the camera pouring cider. He appears to be on a vantage point behind a wooden fence looking out over an autumn valley with mountains on either side in shades of brown, and in the background, more blue mountains with snow-capped peaks. The sky is somewhere between red, pink and blue, setting in the evening.
Close-up view of the church in the village of Ceceda, an example of ancient Asturian architecture. It is made of stone with columns in the courtyard facing the entrance and a red roof, over which a bell tower can be seen. Surrounded by a little meadow with flowers. Behind it are white houses, some with a wooden corridor. The sky shines blue.
Image of green forest and river, which forms part of the Peña river route. The green of the trees dominates the image even in the water where it is reflected. In the centre there is a brown bridge with grass over it that crosses the river.
Image of a traditional market in a square in Nava, it looks very lively with people around the stalls with white awnings. In the centre groups of women dressed in regional costumes dancing. In the background you can see village houses with wooden windows or galleries. Some trees on the left side of the photo and mountains behind.

Info

The capital of Navarre is a world reference for natural cider, and since the sixties of the last century, its cider festival, declared of National Tourist Interest, has strengthened the cider tradition and elevated its ritual to universal status. This is undoubtedly the most powerful reason why the Cider Museum, one of the first interactive museums in Asturias, is located in the capital of the council. The surrounding area offers monuments and landscapes to satisfy the aspirations of the most restless. There is the medieval palace of La Cogolla or La Ferrería, whose walls saw Doña Jimena, the wife of El Cid Campeador, grow up. When it comes to landscape, Nava is a paradise for rural and mountain walks, always with the backdrop of the imposing Sierra de Peñamayor, where in the early autumn you can enjoy the spectacle of the bellowing of the deer.

But Nava is much more: excellent cheeses such as Ovín cheese, handicrafts, bolos, llagares and espichas... There is no doubt that gastronomy and festivities are two of the strong points of this always welcoming and lively municipality in the Cider Shire.
