Europe Destination Guide (TravelNow)

It seemed around every corner in Gijón there was a sidrería, similar to a microbrewery but the drink is imported from the sidrería’s brewery in the countryside, known as a llagar.The beverage can have as much alcohol as a strong beer and is only available in 0.75L bottles, almost a pint and three-quarters. I paid 2€, about $2.43.
