Llanes: Local Cuisine

Asturian cuisine is a highlight of any visit to Llanes, with fresh seafood, hearty stews, and locally produced cider taking center stage. The region is known for its traditional dish, fabada asturiana, a rich bean stew made with local sausage and pork. Seafood lovers will find plenty to enjoy, with dishes like caldereta de pescado (fish stew) and nécoras (crabs) commonly served in local restaurants.

Cheese is another Asturian specialty, and Llanes is no exception. Cabrales, a strong blue cheese, is produced in the nearby mountains and is often served with cider. The local cider, sidra natural, is a must-try and is traditionally poured from a height to aerate the drink.

For those looking to explore the culinary scene, Llanes has a variety of restaurants and cafes, from rustic taverns to more upscale dining options. Food festivals celebrating the local produce and traditional dishes are also common, providing visitors with the opportunity to sample authentic Asturian flavors.
