 Ask a Spaniard what ideas spring to mind when you mention Asturias and they'll probably say: mountains… mountains and cider… green mountains and cider and cheese!
These emblematic items of food and drink help define both the region’s gastronomy and its where’s-the-rush?-sit-down-and-try-a-bit-of-this philosophy and lifestyle.

For those wanting a holiday within easy reach of the sea and yet who dread the prospect of an apartment block in the sweltering, busy resorts of the Costa del Sol, to the rescue comes “the illustrious, always noble, very hospitable village of Gaucin” (so it appeared to St John the Divine).
