From ancient times, after harvesting the
chestnuts, apples and corncob, people all
over Asturias celebrate an autumn
party, called Amagüestu o “Magüestu”.
Asturias produces a lot of this healthy
food.In Spanish, Autumn is
Otoño.In Asturian language,
Seronda.

The Maguëstu is the essential Asturian autumn pagan origin
festival.
In Asturias, the time to collect chestnuts match with the apple
mash to make the cider. This is why the cider cannot fail in the
amagüestos. This cider is the first juice from the mash apple, without fermentation and it has no alcohol.
The amagüestos are fests where the chestnuts are roasted. We put the
chestnut in the drum on the fire and stir it. With this fest, we remind
earlier times when the chestnuts were one of the most important food in our kitchens, before the corn and
potato arrival.

Where do we celebrate it?
Now, we celebrate it in our schools and
festivals in different villages all over
Asturias.
But, in ancient times, it was celebrated in all the small villages when summer was
over and the harvest was on.
Its origin could be Celtic.

Our cultural weekOur cultural weekEvery year in our school we
choose an aspect of our traditions and develop it with pupils. Last year Mr. Valentín Monte, a teacher
(he is retired now) collaborated with us and
we have an exhibition and speeches about jet.
Jet is a product of high pressure decomposition of wood from millions of years ago, commonly the wood of
trees of the family Araucariaceae. Jet is easily
polished and is used in
manufacturing jewellery

Our cultural week IIOur cultural week IIThis Autumn Mr Valentín Monte collaborated again
with C.P. Río Piles (his school) and we worked
about the pottery in Somió (our neighbourhood). It has a very important
relationship with “Amagüestu”, because of most of the pottery was made in order to use in “espichas”, the festivals people did in Autumn, after harvesting the
chestnuts, apples and corncob, when the cider
could be drunk

¡AY!, UN GALÁN DE ESTA VILLA.
¡Ay! un galán de esta villa,¡ay!, un galán de esta casa,
¡ay!, de lejos que venía,¡ay!, de lejos que llegaba.¡Ay!, diga lo que él quería.
¡Ay!, diga lo que él buscaba.¡Ay!, busco a la blanca niña,¡ay!, busco a la niña blanca,
que tiene voz delgadina,que tiene la voz de plata;
cabello de oro tejía,cabello de oro trenzaba.Otra no hay en esta villa,otra no hay en esta casa,si no era una mi prima,
si no una prima hermana;¡ay!, de marido pedida,¡ay!, de marido velada.
¡Ay!, diga a la blanca niña,¡ay!, diga a la niña blanca,
¡ay!, que su amigo la espera,
¡ay!, que su amigo la aguarda
al pie de una fuente fría,al pie de una fuente clara,
que por el oro corría,que por el oro manaba,
a orillas del mar que suena,a orillas del mar que
brama.Ya viene la blanca niña,ya viene la niña blanca,al pie de la fuente fría
que por el oro manaba;la tan fresca mañanica,mañanica la tan clara;
¡ay! venga la luz del día,¡ay! venga la luz del alba.
