Asturian cuisine is highly regarded throughout Spain, and the food scene in Cangas de Onís is considered a prime example of excellent gastronomy in Asturias. Our municipality boasts several key factors that contribute to this, including an abundance of high-quality raw materials, a wide variety of culinary options, and a high level of tourism demand. As a result, Cangas de Onís has become a hub of continuous culinary experimentation and innovation. Meat (especially “carne roxa asturiana”) is particularly appreciated, and there is a wide variety of fish, vegetables and above all cheeses, an outstanding chapter in local gastronomy, such as Cabrales, Beyos, and the most Canguese of all, Gamonéu.

Cangas de Onís enjoys its fiestas and festivals like no other. The streets of the town and villages are filled with enthusiastic people ready to enjoy the company, the music, the Asturian gastronomy and the tradition.
There are many important dates, but the most significant is June 13th, San Antonio’s Day, patron saint of Cangas de Onís, when everyone takes to the streets in their regional costumes. Bagpipes, rockets, giants and bigheads, orchestras, fireworks, the popular picnic at “La Jira”… “San Antoniu” festivities. Other significant dates in the region include the Shepherd’s Festival (Día del Pastor), which is celebrated on July 25th. Another important event is the “Astures, Pelayo Nuestro Rey” weekend, which commemorates the heroic feat of Pelayo and the Astures. Additionally, the Fisherman’s Festival is held to honor the people living along the Sella river, and it includes a fishing competition. The auction of the “Campanu” of the Sella (the first salmon fished in the river at the beginning of the season) and the cheese fair in October are other important events

The royal bearing of its capital, as befits what was the cradle of the Reconquest and the first city and court of the Asturian Monarchy, the first in the Iberian Peninsula The mythical Roman Bridgewith its hangingVictoria Cross and one of the most photographed monuments in Asturias is the symbol of the lively capital of Cangas de Onís, where there is no shortage of gastronomy, interesting gastronomic shops and a Sunday market where you can buy the tastiest produce from the market gardens and the best cheeses from Picos de Europa

Cangas de Onís, one of the gateways to the Picos de Europa, saw the birth of the Montaña de Covadonga National Park, today the Picos de Europa National Park, and is home to the Royal Site of Covadonga and the Enol and Ercina lakes, with their landscape of peaks and pastures, and with the almost ‘lunar’ appearance of the old iron mines of Buferrera or the spectacular view of the Vega de Comella, witness to the geological wealth of this area. A land of passage to the plateau, of shepherding and livestock, of cheese, of mountaineers and climbers, of salmon fishermen, of riverside dwellers, of the cult of rivers such as the Sella, the Güeña or the Dobra…
