The best apples in Álava for making cider are grown in the “Cuadrillas” of Zuia and Ayala, areas with a rainy climate where the traditional wooden presses for domestic consumption are still used.

Cider can be sampled in the sidrerías, cider bars of great tradition spread around the area.

They enjoy a busy and friendly atmosphere, offering simple and tasty food such as meat chops, cod and scrambled eggs, cheese and walnuts, etc.
