05 Jul Gascona Street: Oviedo’s Authentic Flavor
If there’s one place that truly embodies the gastronomic essence of Oviedo, it’s Gascona Street. Popularly known as the Cider Boulevard, this lively street is a must-see for anyone wanting to discover the city’s most authentic and festive character.
The Cider Ritual
Here, tradition is served in every glass. Waiters pour the cider in the traditional style, raising the bottle above their heads so the drink falls forcefully into the glass, releasing all its aromas. It’s an everyday spectacle that surprises and delights those who experience it for the first time.
Sitting on a terrace in Gascona means enjoying yourself at a leisurely pace: sharing a board of Asturian cheeses, savoring a hearty fabada (Asturian bean stew), or sampling meats and fish from the Cantabrian Sea while the cheerful atmosphere fills the street.
Atmosphere, tradition, and fine dining
Gascona Street combines Asturian hospitality with a lively yet elegant atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for both a casual lunch and a special dinner. Day or night, there’s always life, conversation, and toasts.
Very close to the historic center and the main monuments, Gascona allows you to combine culture and gastronomy in a single stroll.
Staying within easy reach of everything
For the full experience, the ideal place to stay is right in the city center. The iconic Gran Hotel España, located just a few minutes’ walk from Gascona Street, offers the perfect combination of a prime location, comfort, and elegance.
After an evening enjoying cider and Asturian cuisine, you can easily return to your hotel without having to travel far, relaxing in the heart of the city.
