Were it not for electricity, you might swear you had been transported back in time. This place is timeless. The coolest thing about L'abellugu is the people it attracts. Its a hive Asturian artists, poets, musicians and activists. Over the decades the bar has been a favorite of Celtic- Asturian bands Llan de Cubel and Felpeyu. This is the kind of place where anyone could whip out an instrument at any time and revel patrons with a rousing reel or heart-rending ballad. This is the kind of pub that tourists DREAM of discovering. If you want to rub elbows with locals, this is the place to go. Don't be surprised if you don't understand a word they say, because here everyone speaks Asturianu, the language of Asturias. Everyone speaks Spanish too, but the kind of people who frequent L'abellugu don't WANT to speak the language of the that was thrust upon them by the opressive dictator Franco 40 years ago. It's a sore subject in Asturias. L'abellugu celebrates the local language, music, and culture. They have excellent beers on tap, lots of lovely Whiskeys and kreigs as well.

It is class Spanish culture, have coffee, a drink, get a snack, stay a while, talk with the other patrons, or garb and go. Tranquilo. I think of this place, the energy, the culture, and how relaxed it makes one feel, every few months when the hustle and bustle of my job and American life set in. Get here, unwind, and enjoy the space, atmosphere, and culture.
