The event is in Cangas de Onís, where for several days the town will host various competitions that have cheese and honey as protagonists. It will take place on 84th Picos de Europa Cheese Competition, the 20th Cangas de Onís Regional Cheese Fair and the Honey Fair.
The event will bring together makers, producers, and lovers of the most emblematic cheeses of the Picos de Europa region—with a special presence of Gamonéu cheese, the municipality's emblem—and will also offer a showcase for honey from eastern Asturias and cheeses from across the region, consolidating its position as a benchmark meeting point for gastronomy and tradition.
