This popular and lively gathering involves the presentation of cider products by numerous participating cider mills, who subject their ciders to the visitors' votes after tasting.
While Gascona Boulevard is usually lively, on the day of the Cider Tasting, it overflows with crowds of people, eagerly looking to taste the seasonal cider and provide their opinion as a qualified popular jury.
Gascona Street, one of the oldest and most traditional streets in the capital of Asturias, has its origins linked to the tradition of the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James), and nowadays, it is one of the most visited streets in all of Asturias by locals and foreigners alike, who come there eager to taste the finest Asturian cuisine and the best cider.
The qualities of this street and its hospitality never disappoint, quite the opposite, and the Cider Tasting is one of those occasions when Gascona showcases its excellence.
