Discover the origins of the famous Cabrales cheese with this tour. You'll visit a traditional factory, a cheese cave and you'll taste this delicious Asturian product.
Cabrales Cheese Tour
At 9 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Gijón. There, we'll take a minibus up to the council of Cabrales, the place where the famous cheese originated. The journey will take approximately an hour and a half.
Once there, we'll stop at the Pozo de la Oración viewpoint to admire the beautiful landscapes of the Picos de Europa and the impressive Naranjo de Bulnes, known by the locals as the Picu Urriellu. Get your cameras ready!
We'll then pass through Arenas de Cabrales before stopping at the villages of Tielve and Sotres. There, we'll have the opportunity to visit a cheese factory and learn first-hand about the entire production process of this cheese with a Protected Designation of Origin. We'll even visit a cheese cave where the cheese is left to mature!
But that's not all, we'll put the finishing touch to the Cabrales cheese tour with a tasting of this delicious product.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Gijón, where we'll arrive at 5 pm.
