Festival of Regional Tourist Interest.

Every year, on the 1st of August, CANDÁS, the capital of the council of Carreño, celebrates its Sardine Festival. This veteran and popular festival was a pioneer of its kind in Asturias and is part of the famous St. Félix festivities in CANDÁS.

After five decades of celebration , the first edition was held in 1970, it has become a classic and a 'must-attend' event for enthusiasts of festivities and good food. On that day, the entire town of Candás is flooded with the aroma and flavour of this succulent fish prepared with consummate skill in CANDÁS.
