Cangas de Narcea is known for its hearty Asturian cuisine, which emphasizes local ingredients and traditional cooking methods. One of the most famous dishes in the region is fabada asturiana, a rich bean stew made with chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and pork shoulder. This comforting dish is often served during the colder months and is a must-try for visitors.
The town is also famous for its cider (sidra), a signature drink of Asturias, which is often poured from a height to aerate it and enhance the flavor. The region’s wine, especially the red wines produced under the Denomination of Origin Cangas, is another local specialty that pairs perfectly with the hearty dishes served in the area.
For dessert, visitors can enjoy traditional sweets such as casadielles, a pastry filled with walnuts, sugar, and anise. Local restaurants, such as Restaurante Blanco and Bar Restaurante El Fuejo, offer authentic Asturian cuisine, ensuring visitors have the chance to savor the flavors of the region.
