Info
The Lamb Festival, held at Prau Llagüezos, where the municipalities of Lena and Quirós meet, is also a unique event, unique in that it is very unusual to have a collective lamb roast of these characteristics and dimensions.
Moreover, the roast is done in the Argentinian style, a technique that was introduced by a returned emigrant from Asturias. As if that were not enough, the setting is marvellous: the summit of Monte de La Cobertoria, in the heart of the Sierra del Aramo. This mountain range is one of the great and mythical Asturian mountains of the central area, whose history is written on the basis of human and sporting feats.
This collective barbecue, seasoned with music and Asturian gastronomy, takes place in a flat meadow, with a fountain and a mountaineer's hostel included, and even with the remains of burial sites, probably of medieval origin. A setting that combines the most ancient history, the most radiant nature, and Asturian traditions mixed with Latin American ones. An eclecticism that makes this festival an unforgettable moment.
