We went to Cangas because I'm celiac and it's advertised as a gluten-free town. We went to Café Madrid because we wanted to try the cachopo, which is famous there. We also ordered the cecina rolls, which were good, although a bit cold. Overall, the food was good and the service was quick and attentive. Regarding gluten, I'll start by saying that they serve you two slightly warm slices of Schär bread. As a celiac, I'm not particularly demanding, but since we were in the famous town, they could have put in a bit more effort. As for gluten-free options, they don't have a special menu; you just have to ask the waiter if they can adapt something for you. And as for cross-contamination, well, you just have to trust them. I didn't get sick, which is something. On the other hand, regarding the town in general, while it's true that there are quite a few restaurants with gluten-free options, and at least when you mention your condition they don't seem alarmed and understand what you're talking about, it still didn't strike me as a truly gluten-free town. There aren't any 100% gluten-free restaurants where you don't have to worry about anything; instead, all restaurants offer gluten-free options alongside gluten-containing ones, and you just have to hope they follow the protocols. There aren't any bakeries in town that make gluten-free products, nor any specialty shops. As someone from Valladolid, I'd say it's just as good as Cangas, but it's less promoted. In conclusion, the town's gluten-free situation is a mixed bag.

🇪🇸Ideal for celiacs and people with nutritional supplements All of the places that are located in Cangas del Narcea are the best. The food is excellent, with products of great quality and an incredible price (up to €20 per person). Probamos el tomate, with a sabor spectacular, a tomato de verdad; el cachopo, increíble, suave y tierno; y de postre a flan de queso sencillamente delicioso. Tienen the prize at the best cachopo de España and a diploma at the best pincho, and this is nota el level. Son muy cuidadosos with the food sin gluten and cualquier allergia, and prestan una atención special a evitar la contaminación cruzada, algo que valoro mucho porque soy muy sensitive además de celíaca. Including the pan with gluten from Schär, tostado with mantequilla, está riquísimo. The trato is insuperable: cercanos, atentos y amables, de los que hacen te sientas como en casa. Llenos de details, todo de verdad de calidad. Sin duda, our favorite restaurant in Cangas del Narcea. ⸻ 🇬🇧 Perfect for celiacs and people with food allergies Of all the places we’ve been to in Cangas del Narcea, this one has been the best by far.
