Nava – Holiday Apartment, Cider Culture and Routes

Cider and Culture

In Nava, the Museo de la Sidra de Asturias is located at Plaza Príncipe de Asturias, 33520 Nava. The exhibition focuses on visitor participation and uses an immersive presentation to convey the production, consumption and history of cider.

The presentation of Asturian cider also covers topics such as the chigre, tonada, music and the bagpipe. The Festival de la Sidra Natural in Nava takes place annually and is classified as a festival of national tourist interest. It includes competitions for cider and for pouring cider.

The festival includes activities related to apples and cider, as well as Asturian traditions and the culture of the region. At Sidra Pomar – Viuda de Angelón in Nava, visits are available by prior appointment and include a cider tasting.

The cultural offerings therefore differ in format: the museum brings together information and topics related to cider, the festival combines an annual event with competitions and activities, while visits to Sidra Pomar are subject to a prior appointment and include a tasting. Event formats and individually arranged visits thus stand alongside one another.

The Área Recreativa del Museo de la Sidra is also located in Nava and has a traditional Asturian bowling alley. At the Centro de Recepción de Visitantes de Nava, visitors can obtain information about the tourist attractions of Nava, the Comarca de la Sidra and the Principality of Asturias.

When searching for a holiday apartment in Nava, you can review travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions side by side on the respective accommodation pages. These details can be considered separately from the cultural and route topics and provide a clear framework for your personal planning.

For your own planning, you can consider cultural events, the prior appointment required for visits and the different types of activities independently of one another. The museum, festival and producer visit represent different ways of experiencing cider and regional culture.

Routes and Landscape

The Villaviciosa–Nava cycling route uses local roads away from traffic and connects Asturias’s major coastal and inland routes. For hikers, the Foces del Río Pendón route begins in Fuensanta and leads through a limestone gorge between chestnut, beech and oak forests. It is one of the most significant hiking routes in the area around Nava.

The cycling route, gorge trail and pilgrimage stage differ in activity type and landscape theme. You can consider these differences side by side when planning your own day without reducing the routes to a common character.

The stage of the GR105 Ruta de las Peregrinaciones ends near the town of Nava. It passes through an area strongly shaped by human activity and through areas with the character of mid-mountain landscapes, where numerous birds and other animals can be found.
