Sidra is the official drink of Asturias. In thisnorthern Region of Spainn, the drinking and specially pouring of this drink are a specialty here.

Sidra or Cider is fermented apple juice and has been around for docents of years in this country. There is even a sidra museum for the most devoted fans. Sidra contains a small amount of alcohol but please don´t let that fool you. There are certain rules when drinking this drink. The first and most important is the pouring, it should be poured into a narrow glass from a height of around 30 cm or three feet, and once a bottle is opened it must be consumed in one sitting due to the fact it oxidizes quickly and becomes flat.

Any time of the year is good for a good glass of Sidra. When in the northern part of Spain don´t forget to go to any of the cider bars and pour yourself (well, at least try) a glass of this tasty juice.
