You will find everything from fish to excellent meat. If you prefer, there is also casserole such as "mountain casserole". To finish up a good dessert. Special mention should be made here of "sobaos pasiegos" (Kind os cake)

Asturias is synonymous with quality produce. Enjoy the delicious regional cuisine made with fruits, meats, seafood and cheeses. "Fabada" is the classic Asturias dish. You should try it.
