In the Apple Festival of Villaviciosa, LA SIDRA celebrated its particular Festival for children, beginning with an apple smashing and a cider pouring workshop, as you can see in the video we enclose.
In a land of cidermakers, as Villaviciosa, the childrens were more than receptive at the time to make cider, and clearly showed that, while apple smashing (with the traditional "mayos" and "duernu") is more important the willing to do it than the size.
Lots of participants spent the whole three hours that the activity took apple smashing and working with a small cider press, like true professionals. It was nice to see how it was for some people something completely new but others were experts in the field, since they had a cider press at home or did smash with their grandparents.Some others preferred the the cider pouring workshop (water in this case, cider is not to be wasted) in which Berto Leal did explain, one by one, the correct technique to get the cider into the glass.
