Comarca de la Sidra Commonwealth, Local government association in Asturias, Spain.
The Comarca de la Sidra Commonwealth is an administrative entity that groups six municipalities in central Asturias: Bimenes, Cabranes, Colunga, Nava, Sariego, and Villaviciosa. Its headquarters in Nava coordinates public services, tourism programs, and local development projects across these communities.
This administrative commonwealth was established on January 19, 1990, to create a framework for cooperation between the municipalities. The founding set the foundation for regional development based on shared goals and interests of the member communities.
Each municipality in this administrative region maintains orchards and cider-pressing facilities that are central to local identity and daily life. The production of sidra continues as a defining tradition that residents actively preserve through their work and community practices.
Visitors can explore the various municipalities to discover local cider-making traditions and agricultural practices across the region. Planning a route between the different communities makes it possible to experience multiple locations while taking advantage of local services and tourism amenities.
The territory is known as the heartland of Asturian cider tradition, where historic fermentation methods in underground chambers and natural caverns remain in use today. These geological features provide ideal conditions for traditional production and shape the distinctive flavor of locally made sidra.
