"While staying overnight in Navia, we were lucky to find a restaurant that was open due to a holiday. Lucky indeed as it turned out, because Sidreria El Cantabrico was an absolute winner. Waiting in the bar for the restaurant to open, required a few pre-dinner drinks, and the barman with a great sense of theatre, performed the trick of holding a cider bottle as far away as possible from the glass before pouring in the cider. Asturian cider is a little like Somerset Scrumpy and you don't need a lot to feel quite mellow, but we enjoyed perhaps a little more than we should have, just to see the pouring custom one more time. The meal that followed was equally impressive, with an intensely flavoured shellfish soup, chock full of crustacea, followed by perfectly steamed mussels and fried baby squid. The service was so friendly and efficient, with not a word of English, but we had no trouble in making our requests understood in rather bad Spanish. A great evening all round for less than 18 euros per person (there were 4 of us) including a bottle of wine and the ciders."
