Picadillo and Sabadiego Festivities

Noreña is the sausage capital of Asturias, with a great tradition in the production of meat products, especially those derived from pork. It is not in vain that this animal has a monument right in the historic centre of this monumental-looking town.

The streets, pig farms and restaurants of Noreña bring out the best of their kitchens and their people to commemorate in style this heartfelt and gastronomic tribute to two of the most important products in their culinary knowledge and tradition.

Both the picadillo de Noreña and the sabadiego are unique in the world and this is well explained by the members of the Order of Sabadiego, which also has a well-deserved leading role in this festival.

To accompany the rich gastronomy, there is a full programme of music, concerts and other cultural activities that liven up the town incessantly.
