Savor gourmet cider on the side of the rich historical and cultural heritage of Oviedo, the capital city of the Principality of Asturias. Dating to as early as the 8th century, the administrative and commercial centre of the region where the saying "Cider is the sap of Asturias" is common, seamlessly blends culture and history into an unquestionable medieval flavour etching its atmospheric Old Town, home to the historic Cimadevilla Street hosting a stunning historic architectural showcase and lively cultural events, the magnificent 13th-century Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador and its photogenic Garden Of Caudillos Kings, Gascon Street – the “Boulevard of Cider” where cider is served in unique Oviedo's way.
