ʻO ka Central Asturian Mountain ka ʻīpuka i ka Principality mai ka Plateau. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana mai León, ke alahele Negrón, ma ka A-66, hiki mākou i Pola de Lena. Mai laila mai, hoʻonui ʻia kahi ʻāina o nā mauna a me nā mine lanahu i ka lōʻihi o ke awāwa ʻo Caudal River. Nui ka ʻai o kēia wahi. Hoʻolālā ʻia e alo i ke aniau mauna a e hānai i nā mina. ʻO ka meaʻai kaulana, i lawelawe ʻia ma nā ʻāpana manawaleʻa, kahi o nā stews ka protagonists.
Me nā meaʻai kuʻuna maʻemaʻe, i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻi mai kahi pūʻulu o nā ʻōpio ʻōpio i hānau ʻia ma kēia mau mauna ma hope o ka wā lōʻihi i nā hale ʻaina koʻikoʻi ma Asturias a me nā hale ʻaina ma Sepania e wehe i nā hale liʻiliʻi kahi e hoʻopili ai lākou i ka meaʻai i aʻo ʻia ma waho me nā aʻa o kāna. ʻāina, e hōʻike ana i ka huahana maikaʻi loa o nā wahi a puni.
ʻO ka mea nui loa ʻo Xune Andrade, ka mea i hoʻokomo i loko o kahi kauhale o ʻumikumamāwalu mau kānaka a me kahi helu nani, ʻo San Feliz, e hoʻomaka i Monte, kahi papahana pilikino me kahi lumi ʻaina liʻiliʻi me nā papa ʻehiku. Ma laila, hāʻawi ʻia nā kīʻaha i kūpono i ke kau a me nā huahana kūloko, ʻoiai me ka ʻole o ka pani ʻana iā lākou iho mai waho, kahi i ʻike ʻia ai nā ʻenehana a me nā hoʻomākaukau ʻana ʻo ia ka hua o nā makahiki o Xune. Maikaʻi i nā ʻano hou, e pili ana i ka hoʻomau a me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ia wahi, hana ka chef me nā mea hana lima kūloko, nā mea hānai a me nā mahiʻai me lākou, ma kāna ʻōlelo ponoʻī, "kaʻana like ʻo ia i nā waiwai, philosophy and terroir." ʻO Xune Andrade, ma ke ala e hoʻokō ai i kāna hōkū mua, ua wehe pū ʻo ia i kahi pā i kapa ʻia ʻo Mo ma Pola de Lena, kahi o nā sausages maikaʻi, cheeses a me nā ʻiʻo, ka hapa nui o lākou mai ia wahi, ʻo ia ka protagonists me kekahi mau ʻāpana maʻalahi.
Aia ma Mamorana, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao o Pola de Lena, ʻo Casa Farpón, na Javier Farpón, me nā hiʻohiʻona mauna nani ma nā puka makani nui. Ua hele ka chef ma nā hale ʻaina Asturian maikaʻi e like me Casa Marcial, Regueiro a i ʻole Auga ma mua o ka noho ʻana ma ʻaneʻi. Hoʻololi kā lākou mau kīʻaha i ka moʻomeheu Asturian me nā hoʻomākaukau ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, akā me ka ʻole o ka nui, me ka mahalo nui i nā mea maka. A i loko o ia Pola de Lena aia ʻo Roble, na Jairo Rodríguez, nāna i hoʻopau i ka ʻekolu o nā hale ʻaina kaulana i wehe ʻia e kēia mau chef ʻōpio. Ua hana ʻo Jairo ma ka Royal Spa o Salinas. I loko o kāna hāʻawi ʻana, nā kīʻaha i loko o nā mea maka o ka ʻāina ka protagonist me ka ʻenehana maikaʻi o ke chef.
Ma mua o ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai maʻamau, ʻelua mau kuhikuhi ma Mieres, ke kapikala o nā kīʻaha mining: El Cenador del Azul a me TC28. ʻO ka mua he mea maʻamau, no nā makahiki i wehe ʻia a no kāna mau hale nani i pili ʻole i nā mea maʻamau ma ia wahi a no kāna meaʻai kikoʻī i mamao loa mai ka kaulana. Hana maikaʻi ʻo Ana Fe Fernández Areces, kuke a me kāna kāne me kāna kāne, nāna e alakaʻi i ka lumi. No kāna ʻāpana, ʻo TC28 kahi tapería e lanakila ana i nā makana he nui mai Mario Fernández Argüelles. Ma ka papa kuhikuhi, nā croquettes kupanaha, mini-tortos, ka ʻiʻo i hoʻōla ʻia, bravas...
Ma kahi kokoke i Mieres, ma Turón, ʻo Casa Chuchu. ʻO Natalia Menéndez, i kākoʻo ʻia e kāna keiki ʻo Rafael, ke alakaʻi nei i kēia hale cider 'gastronomic' kahi e holo maikaʻi ai nā mea. ʻO Chorizos i ka cider, croquettes, monkfish salpicón, ʻokiʻoki ʻia a i ʻole kahi pitu de caleya stew maikaʻi loa, holoi ʻia me nā ʻano cider like ʻole a me kahi papa inoa waina kaulana. Ma kahi kokoke loa iā Mieres, Llagar Panizales, kahi hale ʻai cider nona kahi hale ʻaina kuʻuna me nā chorizos in cider, potato omelette a i ʻole lacón me nā ʻuala paila.
Ma ka ʻaha kūkā o Aller, ʻelua mau ʻōlelo i manaʻo ʻia. ʻO kekahi ʻo De Torres, ma Felechosa, me kahi makana maikaʻi o nā kīʻaha pāʻani, nui ma ia wahi, a me nā sausages mai Casa Milia, kahi hale hana ma ke kūlanakauhale hoʻokahi. ʻO kekahi ʻo Ca'l spelled bread ʻO ka hope, ʻelua mau helu wahi maikaʻi. ʻO Casa Cristina, ma Tallego, ma ke kaona ʻo Ribera de Arriba, kaulana no kāna mau fabadas a me nā potes, akā no ka tripe a i ʻole raiki me ka pitu a i ʻole hipa. A haʻalele i nā kīʻaha, ma Valdesoto (Siero), ʻo Casa Telva, kahi i hana ai ʻelua guisanderas nui, ʻo Yvonne Corral a me kāna kaikamahine ʻo Sara López. ʻO kā lākou mea kūikawā ʻo Asturian-style tripe, akā ʻaʻole lākou e hakakā me ke koena o nā stews: pote, fabada, ka carne governada kaulana a i ʻole pitu de caleya i nā ʻāpana lokomaikaʻi.
