At Easter every year, there is a Cheese Fair in Taramundi. Taramundi is about a 30 minute drive from Granero del Burro so it makes a good day out. There are lots of stall holders all with their own cheeses and you can buy as much or as little as you want. If you buy anything, you get a raffle ticket which enters you in the grand draw for huge hampers.
In addition to cheese, you can buy cider and specialist knives. Nearly all the produce is from Asturias which is the neighbouring autonomous region to Galicia. Taramundi is famous for its knives and has a knife museum.
It is a very busy day in Taramundi but you can always find somewhere to have lunch. Casa Paulino is worth trying as is the Hotel Taramundi. If you don't fancy lunch, have a drink before going back to see if you have won one of the hampers when the lottery is drawn at 2.00pm
