Sidra La Robla is a Spanish Cider wine. Cider is undergoing somewhat of a make-over. A little bit like the now very fashionable Sherry, - or Sidra - is taking its place on the podium of Spanish beverages that the world is happy to import and consume in some quantity - not to mention its reputation at home, here in Spain. You can partake of a glass or two of Cider anywhere in Spain, but to find out where it hails from then you'll have to take a trip to the Atlantic coast, and Asturias in the far north. Asturians have been producing a form of Cider since the 1st century BC - and today, although it may be made and exported on a large scale - it's still a simple drink to most Asturians, often taken in place of wine at lunchtimes, and in place of a cold beer on a warm summer evening.
The epicentre of Cider production in Asturias is undoubtedly , a town that also boasts several beaches, beautiful scenic countryside and ancient hill-forts.
