At this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere we could all use a little sunshine and dry trails, so head out with David Cachon as he discovers exquisite riding and the food that revolutionized cycling is in Asturias, a natural paradise located in the north of Spain, that hides the key to sports recovery – the cachopo.

I’ve been driving for several hours now, I’ve been appreciating how little by little the landscape was changing, becoming increasingly green, mountainous. I slightly lower the window of the car and a smell of fresh grass enters and floods my lungs, which I like.

Suddenly a huge meadow of intense green merges with a magnificent blue that comes from the sea water, the visual sensation is incredible, we just arrived in Asturias. In my mind only one thing, sink the tooth to a cachopo (it is a typical dish of Asturias, consists of two breaded beef fillets and including ham and cheese).
