In Asturias, in addition to visiting the wonderful Picos de Europa hiking or enjoying some of the best beaches in the Bay of Biscay, we can have gastronomic orgasms with some of the best dishes of Asturian cuisine, such as rice pudding or fabada.
One of its best-known dishes is the Asturian stew, a stew of cabbage that is both delicious and comforting. The IV Spanish Championship of Asturian Pote has taken place and the winner has been the Leitariegos Restaurantwhose pot is made by the young chef Héctor Cosmen.
Where to eat the best Asturian stew in Spain
We will have to travel to Cangas del Narcea, in Asturias, to eat what the experts have chosen as the best Asturian stew in Spain. The restaurant is located next to the Leitariegos ski resort, near León and with the snow peeking through the windows. A postcard place with large windows where you can enjoy the views at all times.
It is located within the Fuentes del Narcea, Degaña and Ibias Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve, in the port of Leitariegos, the highest town in Asturias. They call it the roof of paradise precisely for that reason, because it is located a few meters from the Valle-Laciana Leitariegos ski resort, at the top from where you can see the Naviego Valley, and the Laciana Valley on the Leonese slope, more 1500 meters high. But the climb is well worth it.
Imagine the plan: a getaway to Cangas de Narcea in Asturias (you have hotels in the area from 98 euros two nights for two people), a morning skiing at the Valle-Laciana Leitariegos ski resort and the best Asturian pot to regain strength. A comforting and steamy dish spoon that warms you up and makes you feel at home.

If there are contests for the best hamburger, it is normal that there are also contests that reward traditional Spanish dishes such as croquettes, potato omelette or the torreznos. The Asturian pot is a very our dish that now you know where to eat if you want to taste the best from Spain.
