this the cider industry wants to be one tourist reference for the first order Asturiasthrough thematic packages, in which it is possible to learn first-hand about the workings of the cider mill at different times of the year cycling or walking around the pumaradasBased on Asturian gastronomy special cider and cider menus or complementary rural accommodation offers, some of which have their own pumaradas. It is a model in which private enterprise works hand in hand with the Autonomous Administration through the Sidraturismos Asturias association and has achieved very good results in the cider producing regions of the Basque Country. The ‘Mayado Experience’ project is underway this week to kick off the season and now that the mills have embarked on an intense process to make the wines that will end in the spring of 2023. The plan combines visits to cider factories with cider menus and guided bike routes through cider producing areas in the region’s center.
Especially the cider mills Castañón, Cortina and El Gaitero Maliayeses, where you can make an appointment for a visit by November 1; Gijón residents of Trabanco, Piñera and JR; Quelo’s Sierense and Herminio’s Oviedo. At the same time, those who are interested have the opportunity to visit Siero, Villaviciosa or Coaña pumaradas.
Another of the keys to the Sidraturismo offer for these dates consists of associating the charm of pumaradas and cider mills with bike tourism. This Friday, the 28th, will be a route starting and ending in Sidra Quelo via Siero. 48 euros per person, guided tours to and from Sidra Cortina, along with one more via Villaviciosa. The activity will be repeated on Sunday, but El Gaitero will be the axis of a plan aimed at maximizing the full potential of the most Asturian drink.
