the apple orchard
PACA owns one hectare of land with apple trees («pumarada») and almost every year in our «llagar» we make some cider, a traditional Asturian drink. If you are interested, we will explain you the whole process: apple picking, washing, apple pressing.
Los Llagares are the places where cider is made, and the «pomaradas» are the farms where apple plantations grow. Pomaradas and llagares one of the most characteristic manifestations of Asturian culture and landscape.
THE » PANERA»
The hórreo and panera are traditional constructions from the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly in Asturias and Galicia, historically used to store and preserve foodstuffs such as cereals, corn and other agricultural products, although their use spread to other purposes such as craft workshops, tool sheds, apiaries or dovecotes, and even dwellings. Beyond its practical function, today, it is a symbol of Asturias heritage and an emblem of rural identity.
It is characterised by being raised on pillars or «pegollos» to prevent moisture and animals from entering from the ground. The floor is characterised by grooves in the walls that allow ventilation, keeping food in optimal condition for consumption.
In the Principality of Asturias, more than 14,000 are preserved in two main types, the Hórreo and the Panera. PANERA is larger than the hórreo and rectangular in shape. Requires six pegollos instead of four, and its roof also has a central beam at the top, but it retains the shape of four slopes as horreo. ITS CONSTRUCTION BEGAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF CORN CULTIVATION (17TH CENTURY). The corridors were originally used to hang strings of corn cobs for drying. They usually had carved decorations on the doors and colondras (openwork panels).
OUR PANERA dates from the late 19th century. The interior can be visited on request. The porch area under the granary is always available to our guests, with tables for eating and sofas for relaxing.
