Loved the Tierra Astur experience in downtown Oviedo! Met some friends from San Diego that are…read morenatives from that town and are visiting their families over the holidays. This was a gathering spot for some of them and their friends so my friend and I tagged along and I tried their sidra. It is not my favorite drink but I loved the 'escanciado' or the art of pouring the cider in the glass from an elevated position. Tierra Astur is a blend of store with lots of gastronomy products (perfect for gifts and excellent packaging), a restaurant to eat a LOT (better share those huge dishes) and a bar where to have a drink standing still whole the waiters pass croquetas and tortilla de patatas at no cost. The space is gorgeous, lovely decor, huge yet cozy. Outside they have a map with the most famous products and areas of origin, so it is a pretty didactic experience too.

El lugar…read morees chulísimo, con mostradores antiguos, techos altos, y estanterías hasta el techo repletas de botellas y vitrinas con tartas de aspecto delicioso. Por supuesto, también tenía que probar algo ya que estaba allí, así que me decidí por una casadiella o casadielles, típico de Asturias. Estaba muy rico y tenía un buen tamaño (lo compartimos entre dos), pero me pareció súper caro (2.40EUR) en comparación con los precios que había visto en otras confiterías tal vez menos famosas (menos de 2EUR en todas). Además, la señora que atendía distaba bastante de ser amable y servicial, como uno espera si va dispuesto a pagar más. Está guay visitarla y probar algo alguna vez, pero creo que yo elegiría cualquiera otra confitería de las muchas que hay para ir más a menudo.
