ASTURIAS
Gijón and Oviedo
An intense day, like all others, begins with a
bell ringing at 8 a.m.
Experiences include a visit to one of the most
important cider mills in Asturias, " Llagar Tra-
banco"—a true temple of Asturian cider—and
free time to explore the lively city of Gijón,
complete with a tasting menu at Restaurante
Kraken, located inside the city’s Aquarium:
a true temple of Asturian gastronomy with a
contemporary touch, both in its dishes and its
décor. From there, we travel by road to disco-
ver the artistic and historical heritage of beau-
tiful Oviedo. An excellent guide introduces us
to its superb cathedral and beautiful cloister,
leading us through the historic streets of the
old town—a historian who knows better than
anyone the corners of “Vetusta”, as immorta-
lised by Leopoldo Alas Clarín.
While we enjoy dinner aboard the train, we
head towards Llanes, and once again, the
evening is accompanied by music—this time,
the sound of a violin.
