Top 50 things to do and attractions in Oviedo

Construction on Iglesia de Santa Maria del Naranco began in the 9th century. This unesco world heritage site was originally a palace used for recreational purposes and transitioned to a church three centuries later. It is extremely emblematic of Pre-Romanesque architecture, which the region in Asturias around Oviedo is known for. Pay attention to the details inside the church /palace where the carvings reveal animals, people and other symbols. The balconies on either side of the church / palace are also excellent for observing details of the columns. Guided tours of Santa Maria del Naranco cost €5, last from 30-45 minutes and are in Spanish. The entrance fee includes entry to the neighboring church. Highly recommend visiting, especially going on the guided tour. The walk up to Santa Maria del Naranco is rewarding though it is possible to drive up too.

The site in itself is stunning! Nevertheless, it is awfully managed for a UNESCO site. You can visit it only with a guided tour, which is in Spanish only, and whose schedule is not listed anywhere. As the site is very small, there is no real need for a guide, in my opinion, but for pamphlets and brochures in Spanish and other languages. Apart from this, the guide does not offer any real information, but reminds you all the time not to touch anything inside (it's one small hall with bare walls and columns) and literally locks the visiting group in so that the tourists wanting to get in cannot do it 🫣 Totally recommend visiting the site, it's an extraordinaty piece of architecture and a great view, but skip the guided tour.

Pre-romanic style only available in Asturias zone. Green enviroment. Poor timetable to visit the inside.

It’s my first time visiting Oviedo, and I made sure to see the centuries-old Iglesia de Santa María del Naranco. It’s fascinating to witness something that has existed for thousands of years.

If you are in Oviedo this small church is a must see piece of history up close.

Beautiful, so peaceful. They do tours at certain times. We went at 13.30, the tour includes both Santa Maria del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo. The guide was very knowledgeable. It's definitely worth a visit.

An amazing 8th century church. Guided tours are available every hour, only in Spanish. It was not a problem for me but even if you don’t speak Spanish, it is worth visiting.

Built in 1885, Mercado El Fontan is Oviedo central market serving the city. Flaunting an Art Nouveau style, it is in dire needs of some much needed renovations (just better lighting would do a lot) but let that stop you and entering the fine selection of specialized store. We thought the fish store was especially attractive that day with a wide selection of fresh fish. Free to enter, one of your must-stops while in Oviedo. P.S.: if this review and pictures were useful in planning your visit, please leave a 👍, thank you 🙏

A great covered market in the center of the old town. The main produce for sale is fish though there are meats, vegetables, pastries, grains, and fruit. There are restrooms which you pay to use. This is a feature of Oviedo : free public bathrooms are not a thing.

Awesome fish market in the old town of Oviedo - selection of fish, meats, hams, fruit & Veg plus cheeses and beans. Worth a visit just to see the array of fish and watch them gutting and preparing them.

Fantastic bazaar with a wide variety of products

Nice covered market where to find typical products, especially local meat, cheese and fish

This is an excellent municipal market. There is a wide variety of fresh and gourmet prepared food. Curiously, while crowded on a Saturday morning, it was much quieter than similar markets throughout Spain that my wife and I have visited the past two years. If you need non-food household items, there's a Mercadona about 200 meters away.

Amazing, typically food market, but also much more. Heart of the ancient city center; you can buy gastronomic delicatessen but also enjoy pipe bands and traditional asturian dances (on weekends). Best days are Saturday, Sunday, Thursday and Tuesday.

A modern architectural addition has been added to the entrance of the Museo de Bellas Artes (fine arts museum) de Asturias. On the ground floor, there are remnants of an archeological site. Mostly Spanish artists can be found here with a few other nationalities represented. The Museo de Bellas Artes extends into neighboring buildings, which are themselves beautiful architectural structures. What’s more, there are lockers to store any small bags at the main entrance. There are also QR codes throughout the museum that can be scanned to link to videos with more information about pieces of art. WiFi is available and entrance is free. Can be extremely busy on the weekends. Highly recommend.

Great museum that you can easily spend 3 hours in and it's free to visit. They have both a modern art section and fine art one in the older attached building. If you enjoy that more, I would spend more time in that part.

The "Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias", located next to the cathedral of Oviedo, is definitely worth a visit. But first this: pay attention to the opening hours and plan your visit. As is customary in Spain, almost everything closes for a few hours in the afternoon. This is also the case in Oviedo, including this museum. In addition, the museum is only open until siesta on Sundays and is always closed on Mondays. But this museum is free to enter, you don't have to pay an entrance fee! The museum was only opened for the first time in 1980 with 78 exhibited works of art. That is almost unimaginable, because today the collection includes more than 15,000 works of art and objects. Inside, this museum is a maze, because the museum expanded further and further over the years in partly historical buildings. But we as visitors didn't mind that at all. We were totally surprised by the size of the collection and unfortunately we had the closing time in mind. We actually saw far too many works in far too short a time, but not everything. The collection covers eight centuries, from the 14th century to contemporary art. It mainly consists of works by Spanish artists: from local Asturian art to the greatest Spanish visual artists such as El Greco, Goya, Zurbarán, Picasso, Miró, Dalí to name just a few of the most famous representatives of Spanish visual art. There are also some artists from other countries represented. And in addition to paintings, the collection also contains drawings, sculptures, photography, glass, pottery and posters.

Super lovely museum! Has some really great pieces - I loved the paintings from Sorolla and Fortuny! Had some cool paintings from Dali, Miro and Picasso too! There is quite a variety of styles, mediums and eras which means there’s something for everyone. The layout was quite confusing because you can only get to some sections from a specific level but I still managed to navigate it with the floor plan (not in English). I was there for 1.5 hours before it closed at 2pm which was a bit rushed and I didn’t feel like I really finished my visit. No shop which was a shame because I definitely would have loved some post cards of the beautiful art! There is a little bit to read in Spanish and English on each floor but not super insightful - it’s more an overview of what there is on that floor and what style. There’s not written descriptions next to the artworks. Free entry is much appreciated!

The museum is so impressive that you’d probably need to visit it three times to be able to take everything in without rushing. The artistic quality of the works on display is truly remarkable. My personal top 10 definitely includes Saints Michael and Engracia (1490), The Nativity of the Virgin (1485), Anamorphosis (1935), and Bacchus and Ariadne. Maria Luisa in the Garden (1871) is truly charming. Centuries go by, yet a single painting traces back to people who lived their lives so long ago. A special thanks goes to the explanatory texts beneath some of the paintings, as they really help to look deeper into what lies behind the artworks and the ideas the artists sought to express.

Beautiful art gallery featuring a lot of Asturian artists as well as key Spanish painters, lovely building, we had a great visit with kids.

Free Entrance. Fantastic Space. Some magnificent art and sculptures on display. No cafe and clean toilets.

Known as “Samiguel de Lliño” in the local dialect, Iglesia San Miguel de Lillo was built in the mid-800s. This historic church, which is a UNESCO world heritage site due to its pre-Romanesque architecture & history, can be visited in conjunction with guided tours of the neighboring church / palace Iglesia Santa Maria del Naranco (€4 entrance fee for guided tour of both churches that lasts 30 to 45 minutes). It is a small church that has intricate carvings similar to the ones at the neighboring church and also has remains of a mural that depict shapes and humans. Photography is not permitted inside the church and carrying bags / backpacks (anything that can accidentally touch the walls) is discouraged. The walk from Iglesia Santa Maria del Naranco is less than five minutes; the walk from the center of Oviedo is approximately an hour - there are nice views of the city if you walk up though it is possible to drive.

A beautiful and well-maintained monument—rich in history and definitely worth a visit. It’s a great piece of heritage that stands out. Just a heads-up: there’s no parking nearby, so plan ahead. Otherwise, a lovely spot!

for the history geeks: this church was rebuilt 3 times due to corrosion by the nearby river, which is now a stream. materials from the leftover construction of the main oviedo cathedral in the city centre was used in the latest rebuilt thus you will be able to find intriguing and unexpected visuals if you look closer and examine carefully with your imagination - see the bearded figure I found that looks like its pouring cider? 😉

Excellent preromanic church just a stones throw from Santa Maria de Naranco, beautifully situated in the hills overlooking Oviedo. You can take a guided tour of both churches for four euros with a local guide and see their interior. San Miguel has frescos similar to San Juan de Los Prados as well as from later epochs. Tour is highly recommended.

Beautiful, lovely small romanic church, in a amazing spot not far away from Oviedo. Unbelievable sunset

This is so impressive to see such an old Church w

Unfortunately, it is not possible to take photos inside this amazing 8th century church. There are guided tours in Spanish (tickets are available at the Santa Maria del Naranco church)

Great free archaeological museum to learn the history of the region from the pre human era to Romans to medical medieval times. Takes at least an hour to see it well.

Not only is there no charge to enter this museum but it offers a wide and comprehensive collection of artefacts from the neolithic through Roman period to the Middle Ages. Each gets a floor to exhibit it and there are numerous educational videos on loop to give you further insights into life in each era.

The Archaeological Museum of Asturias is a cultural institution of note in Oviedo, Spain. Housed within a 16th-century Benedictine monastery, the museum offers visitors a comprehensive look into the rich history of the Asturias region, spanning from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages. The museum's collection includes artifacts representing the area's Neanderthal inhabitants, as well as its settlement by the Roman Empire. Visitors can view relics from ancient mines and Roman burial sites, in addition to other artifacts from daily life in centuries past. Interactive exhibits and the opportunity to explore the monastery's restored architecture, including dormitories, chapels, and cloisters, make this museum an engaging experience for visitors of all ages. Closed for renovations for nearly a decade, the Archaeological Museum of Asturias reopened in 2011 with a newly established research library dedicated to the study of regional archaeology and history. The museum works to protect valuable historical artifacts uncovered throughout Asturias. Whether for its free admission, historic setting, or world-class collection representing the deep roots of human settlement in Asturias, the Archaeological Museum merits a visit from travelers in Oviedo interested in a meaningful glimpse into the area's distant past. Open Tuesday through Saturday, this institution is a cultural gem not to be missed.

Quite an impressive collection, well documented and you have the chance to see an ancient building too from inside. All its free!

Always closed. Can’t seem to find them open. For tourists, it is a pity as they have to decamp in limited time.

Liked it a lot but as someone with low Spanish level, wish the videos had subtitles in Spanish or in English.

Free of charge, very good chronological timelines in Asturias past

Among the most unforgettable places I visited in Oviedo. Hard to believe that Christians were worshipping God here for over 1000 years. A truly UNESCO gem!

Absolute preromanic jewel. Unique geometric motifs of iconoclastic times. Quite good conserved. To visit it, call the number as indicated in the website. The lady will explain to you the history and the last visit is at 17h30. The ticket is 4€ pp

Visited twice, first to tour and second for a concert. Magnificent frescos!

Beautifully situated Pre romanic church ten minutes from the centre of Oviedo, with three naves and a striking wooden effigy of Jesus on the cross as an altarpiece. A lot of the masonry has fallen into disrepair but its frescos in the chapels have similarities with those found on the inner walls of Egyptian temples. It is three euros to visit with informative guide (in Spanish), which you have to take to see inside the church.

Very interesting example of a religious site from the 9th century. It preserves 70% of the original interior polychrome. Hours closed every 30 min. Last show 17:30. World Heritage Site next to Naranco and Lillo. Taking photos inside is prohibited.

An authentic Catholic church, built in the early ninth century and declared a World Heritage Site. The Roman style is highlighted by picturesque decorations, preserved to this day. The simple and unique form of architecture and gives it grandeur and eternity.

A UNESCO world heritage site and a pre-romanesque building. One of the 5 UNESCO sites around Oviedo. It's a little bit out of the way compared to the other one's which are either very centrally located or very close to each other. I also thought that it wasn't really sign posted in the city how to get there. Still worth a visit.

One of the most beautiful parks I’ve been to with incredible cleanliness and greenery.

Campo de San Francisco is a larger park with plenty of grass, trees and bench-lined passageways that are lit at night. What is unique to this public garden park is the date made by plants that is changed daily. There are a few vendors lining one of the larger pathways along a side of the park that sells cotton candy, waffles and other sweets. And there is plenty of statues also inside the park. This is a lovely green space in the middle of the city that is worth a visit and worth sitting down and enjoying it.

Campo San Francisco is considered the lungs of Oviedo. It is a beautiful and peaceful Park filled with hundreds of trees including dozens of different varieties from around the world. The space dates back to the year 1534 when it was area as a public space and in 1816 became municipal property. When my mom was in her twenties, there used to be a live bear in a cage on display for visitors in the park 😭 the scent of eucalyptus adds to the delight of this beautiful natural respite.

Amazing to have a good time, you can come with your family, friends, alone, read, have a ver.

This beautiful park is the heart of Oviedo city. You will find several pieces of art here as well an archway. The legendary date that changes daily is also found on the North East corner of the park. It is a great place to have a coffee, take a walk or even sit on the grass. It is pet friendly and you will find a dog park in it. There is also a cafe there.

Nice park with a lot of Japanese influence. Was lucky enough to be here during the festival of Oviedo - there were a lot of cool markets and stalls sampling the Asturian culture. There was even live music performances. Really nice park and very calming.

Excellent place to walk and relax. With fountains, huge trees (also there are sequoiadendron and eucalyptus), statues, and a pond with ducks.

Frankly a bit disappointed with the food from the establishment. The cachopo was really tough to eat, as were the lamb chops. It's a busy festive restaurant but I guess not for us.

We had to wait for a bit to get a person to take us to a table. But the food was great, the service was fast/efficient, and the vibe of the restaurant is very classy and beautiful. I do recommend for people to share some of this plates that are big and filling for two to three people.

Atmosphere is great. Location is in very busy pedestrian area. Staff seemed uninterested when we approached to ask if there is a free table on the terrace. We have found it ourselves few minutes later when other guests left. Food is good, but to be honest I have expected more regarding the prices and reviews.

I usually try to avoid touristy spots, but this time I was really hungry and ended up here. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and went with the meat she suggested which is in the photo. The food arrived fairly quickly, but unfortunately it was a letdown. The fries were greasy and tasted like they’d been fried twice in old oil. The meat was rubbery and totally flavorless. The cider was nothing special either, though the way they pour it is kind of fun to watch. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant, there are much better places just a few blocks away from the main street.

We tried the local specialties, but the size of the "Gran cachopo vaca" was too big 🥶🤪

The interior is strange in this bar/restaurant. It has design, but has also a touristic vibe. The menu is a complete photo album. But, the food is excellent and is reasonably priced. Drinking is cheap. Kitchen is still open, when al restaurants in the neigborhood are closed

The atmosphere was really nice and cool looking. The food however was disappointing, specifically Las Costillas Asadas, that my dad got. Given the cut of the meat we were assuming it was going to be a lot juicier, but it was extremely dry that he couldn’t finish it. As a starter we got the Huevos Rotos with the chorizo which was really good. However, my plate ( los escalopines de ternera ) never came, even though they had taken my order but never put it in, so we decided to just remove that from the order and leave. I would like to add that this is specifically just our poor luck, but also something to keep in mind.

It's a beautiful typical cathedral. It's clean and well preserved. A bit on the expensive side, I visited cathedrals more complex and bigger cheaper or for free. If you wanna go to the tower it becomes even more expensive. The cathedral has nice details of craftmanship; one does not need to be a religious person to admire it. Given the proximity to other buildings you have to walk a bit around to see it from diferent angles however the city it's beautiful so it's on the positive side.

This is an incredible building. As it has been in place for 1200 years there are a mixture of architectural styles. The square in which it is situated was set up for the yearly festival but is quite beautiful. It costs €8 to view the interior which we don’t have time to do but looks beautiful in photos.

Worth the visit Do not hesitate it is amazing The audio guide is great for once !!! It is on your phone and works better with the app which is easy to install

Great value for 8 euros for admission, one of the most beautiful crosses I have ever seen! 😍👍🙏✝️

Wow it is incredible! It has so many artifacts! Must see if you are near.

I enjoyed it! Was a nice cathedral with museum

If you are interested in religious architecture or religious relics it is worth a visit. The gothic building is impressive and it has a small museum with catholic relics and objects. The visit is not going to take you more than an hour if you are interested in the subject. You can do the "Cultural visit" from Monday to Saturday from 10-13 & 16-19h. The ticket is 8€ per adult.Senior & students have a lower tariff.

Lovely theatre, well maintained and staffed by people who show care for the place. The seats can be a little small for modern body sizes (length wise, anyway) but there is pretty good visibility all around, the boxes are worth the extra depending on the show. Surprisingly, the tickets are very reasonable (for the shows I've attended anyway).

Wonderful ballet and a beautiful old traditional theatre. The sightlines we're pretty poor from the cheapest seats, but we had a wonderful evening anyway

Just visited from outside. The building is gorgeous. Recommendable in any case

This is a beautiful theater. Stage visibility is good from all seats. The general seats are narrow and with little leg room.

Great dance performance of jungle book by Akram khan ..I was at the back of the stalls but had a brilliant view

Excellent. Great sanitary measures, order, acoustic of the theater. Great show

I love going here especially during the SACO events the ayuntamiento of Oviedo hosts

Beautiful old building, what a privilege it would be to be educated here!

Beautiful univerdity like museum

Seems a good place, though it was very wet weather wise.

Wonderful visit to Oviedo and the University

Good 👍

One of the best historical place.

A nice place for summer school

Fantastic food, great quantity and quality, nice selection of tasty local wines. Not cheap but definitely worth the price.

Fantastic restaurant! Location, service, and amazing food. Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, we traveled from Miami to experience the beauty of Spain. Oviedo is a definite place to visit, and this restaurant is a MUST!! My husband had the Fabada, WOWWWWWWWWW.

The solomillo was perfectly cooked, the gamba roja fresh and juicy, and the croquetas jamón ibérico rich and creamy. The pescado rape was excellently prepareda great view of Calle Fruela, especially lively on America Day in Asturias 19 of September

Amazing views and food quality. A must place to visit, make sure you have reservations. The staff was very pleased with out presence and very accomodating.

La corte de Pelayo is a fantastic restaurant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming as the restaurant decoration and views. The food is superb! We had Fabada asturiana and alcachofra as entries and it was the most amazing fabada we have ever eaten. For the main course we choose cachopo, and what a wonderful meal it was. Could not recommend you more!

Incredible Cachopo. Amazing texture and full of flavors. Their recipe from 1947 is with no doubts the best I have in Asturias. 1KG of food. Enough to share.

The amount of the attention from the waiters is fantastic. We tried the rib cooked in low temperatures, cachopo (bot accompanied with amazing mashed potatoes) salad with langostines and mushrooms with foie and egg yolk. The food was excellent, the rib was falling apart and the crust is incredible. The cachopo is the best we tried so far: juicy, perfectly seasoned, soft and crunchy on the outside! The dessert plate was good (the apple pie and the cherry jam on top of the cheesecake were awesome), but it lacked any ice cream, which is interesting to try. All in all - we definitely will be back. The price is a bit on the higher side, but it all is worth it.

We are a bit astonished at all the good reviews this place has. We live in Oviedo and decided to try it as it looks nice and has good reviews. The food however was extremely disappointing... The quality was of an ordinary cidreria but with pretensions of grandeur regarding the presentation and price. Sows ear at the price of a silk purse basically. For the price (we paid about €35 per person) I would have expected far more and have eaten far better for less in other places in Oviedo (and we eat out a lot here). The crepe with seafood was actually inedible, and the food was so stodgy that after the first plate I felt sick and full, the typical thing that happens to me in most lesser quality establishments. The vibe we got from the server too was that their clientele was mostly tourists. We will never go back.

Excellent local fresh food...we enjoyed tomatoes..and lots of fish. Even though language was a bit of a barrier we had a great time. We highly recommend. Gracias

Creative recepies, warm atmosphere. Correct prices.

This restaurant is full before it opens its doors every day with the locals. It is fantastic, anything you order. Be sure to call for reservations the day before or early.

Great food and service. One of the best in Oviedo.

Delicious food!

Confitería Rialto is a bakery and pastry shop with two main parts - a counter to place orders to go and a dining area with small tables. This popular confectionery is best know for the “moscovitas” cookies that come in dark, milk or white chocolate. Other pastries and baked goods including the local favorites - princesas and carbayones - are available in mini sizes, which is ideal if you want to try as much as possible. If you choose to take items to go, take a number and wait your turn. If you want to wait for a seat at a table, stand in line and be patient. Either way, whatever you order, you will be pleased

The counter, people im queue, and the number plate all made it too hard to resist. A cute pastry shop that locals also frequent with friendly staff. There's this pastry that was born in Oviedo called "Carbayón" you must try. ( Which means oak tree in the locla language, and also the people from the region) : 3 fold puff pastry, ground almonds, and a sugar icing lemon and a hint of cinnamon. For those who just want to have a taste, order the tiny "Princesita de Asturia" which is like a tiny version of Carbayón.

If you're ever in Oviedo, trying a Carbayón here is a must to experience the local flavors👌🏼it’s e a landmark in Oviedo, cherished for its history and high-quality pastries.

Confiteria Rialto is one of the best pasty shops. Normal hours are 09.00 till 21.00. They make everything, and it is so good. Can sit down at back and have a coffee and a bite to eat.This place is next to my apartment, 15 days of peer pleasure.

This was highly recommended and I can see why. Great patisserie. Friendly service.

Even a slice of bread tastes like heaven. You can not miss Moscovitas nor Carbayon. If you order a ham and cheese sandwich is also great!

Always a great choice of pastries and sweets, chocolate together with a cup of coffee or the, lots of choices to everyone taste

Camilo de Blas is a highly regarded bakery, confectionery and pastry shop. It is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach even if prices are relatively high (€3.20 for one of the famous local pastries, carbaryone, which is the reason for the three stars). Amongst the wide array of pastries and sweets, there are also savory options. What’s more, there are three small tables inside for seating.

No matter how much you look forward to enjoying dessert, the shop assistants here will only look at you with contempt. It's a very cold dessert shop. The desserts here are not sweet enough to melt this indifference.

THE place for cabayones and its ice cream! Be warn and go early for better service and a full menu of pastry - things get sold out fast and the ladies were a little grumpy when we were there in the late afternoon... they were so to everyone so it ain't just to me.

Overpriced, not so great quality candies. And watch out for your change, thay might cheat you if you are a foreigner. Update: They replied to me they do not sell candies, like I was lying or something, but the receipt is pretty clear. We have bought "bombons" which means candies, the cashier took our coins without counting them in our presence, then returned saying we gave them a smaller amount (which is not true). So nothing automated at all. It is not about money (which is a small amount), but about the attitude and how the staff are treating customers. Shop not reccomended.

I am glad that other reviews mentioned rude staff because I had a weirdly hostile experience here. I went with a friend for the famous carbayones and we waited together in a very slow moving line. The line is only in one half of the store so you can't see any of the other pastries they sell. I went very quickly to look while my friend stayed. The lady working there snapped her fingers, pointed at me, started aggressively pointing at the line and yelled that the line was over there with a really angry expression. I gave absolutely no indication that I was trying to cut, it was very obvious I was just looking. There were other pastries I was interested in but nothing has prices so I had no idea what the other things cost. I ended up just buying a few of the carbayones which were really good. Everyone else in line also didn't buy anything else, maybe if they were allowed to look at the things in the other half of the store, they would! The funny thing is that many other ladies who knew the cashier came in to cut the line and were served first!

This place is over rated and overpriced, you get better and cheaper cakes in the supermarket. Also, they seem to have more commercial products on their shelves than their home made products. If you are craving for a nice cake, look for another bakery.

A must stop in Oviedo! Home of the Asturias famous carbayones. The interior—and exterior—are absolutely stunning and vintage. Bought 4 pastries to go and a carbayon ice cream. Got a stomach ache afterwards but that’s probably because I’m not used to eating sweets. A bit pricy but worth it.

It is a statue dedicated to the famous American film director Woody Allen, installed in Oviedo in honor of his connection to the city. In 2008, part of his film Vicky Cristina Barcelona was filmed in Oviedo, and he praised the beauty of the city.

Intriguing to find Woody Allen in the streets of Oviedo. The statue could use a bit of maintanence but neverthless captured Woody's essence and his trademark sad frowning face. Be sure to find that film Woody made for Oviedo!

People keep saying he had a great bond with the city. As good as the bond he had with his step daughter? The one he married?

Life size Woody Allen statue, a must if you visit Oviedo. Woody has a great bond with this city, and a picture here is a great memory. Besides, be sure to check out more statues in Oviedo, you will have fun!

A very popular statue, right in the middle of a vibrant, busy city.

If you are a fan of Woody Allen you need to have a photo with him in Oviedo! Woody Allen Statue appeared in Oviedo not suddenly. It was a present to the director and a sign of gratitude of citizens of Asturias. A life-size statue of Woody was inaugurated in 2005 after the famous film director dedicated compliments to the city of Oviedo upon receiving the Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Artes. In the same year Allen came to Spain and reached an agreement to film his movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” in Avilés, Barcelona and Oviedo.

Exactly what it says it is, a statue of Woody Allen. The location marker is fairly accurate, but the statue itself is small and easy to miss at night or on a busy day. It's across the street from the park and in the middle of the pedestrian area, not in the park. It could use a little information to explain its presence for those not familiar with it.

Good food, obliging service in Cider Street in Oviedo.

It’s along Gascona street so we appreciate getting a seat indoors. We called in advance for the dinner reservation. The chipirones 🦑 was absolutely good! The susurro del cerdo was reminiscent of a Filipino favorite dish “sisig” — we enjoyed the meal a lot. :) Cerdo + squid + 2 bottles of sidra + agua con gas = 51,60€

Nice terrace, very friendly staff. In a bustling street amidst many bars and restaurants.

Great place to eat at Calle Gascona (Bulevar de la Sidra), specially if you stay outdoors at the Terraza surronded by Sidra green bottles professionally opened all the time by the experient Camareros. We tried the typical Huevos Rotos con sabadiego (sabadiego is a typical smoked sausage from Asturias) 👍... and the traditional Cachopo (2 steaks with Asturian Queso Cabrales and Jamon Iberico in the middle) 👌. The Price worths the Quality and quantity but I recommend just the Cachopo for 2 people.

The staff are friendly and welcoming to customers. This place prepares authentic Asturian cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. The Cachopo antiguo, a traditional version of the hearty dish, is a must-try. But don’t forget to finish your meal with the Torrija asada, a roasted French toast served with ice cream—an unforgettable dessert experience!

Avoid if you are not a local!!!! We speak enough Spanish to get by, but for any foreigner hoping for a warm Asturian experience, this is the worst place on all of 'Cider Street'. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Despite the restaurant having plenty of free tables, we were ushered straight to the very back, next to the toilets, without a single word of welcome. The service throughout was just as bad. At no point did any of the waiters smile or make any effort to assist us. When we mentioned that we might order more food later, the waiter snapped back, “You need to make sure you leave by 10,” even though it was only 8:30. Throughout the hour, our cider glasses sat empty as staff repeatedly walked past, deliberately ignoring us. Had the experience been better, we would have happily spent another €50 on more food and drink—but instead, we took that business across the road to Sidrería Tierra Astur Gascona, where we were welcomed with smiles and treated with genuine hospitality. The difference was night and day. A quick comment on the food we did have: Croquettes: 7/10 – nothing to complain about here. Patatas bravas/alioli: 4/10 – very few potatoes (only 8), and they were exceptionally salty. Bread: Not served with any butter or olive oil, though the latter was provided upon request. Overall, if you’re reading this as someone from outside Oviedo, please take your business elsewhere on the street and enjoy a far better night than we had.

Fantastic sidreria bar in the main sidreria street, Gascona. Relaxed, great drinks, great snacks.

La Regenta is yet another iconic statue in central Oviedo. Located at one corner of the Plaza de la Catedral, this statue of a woman takes you back in time.

(Translated by Google) The urban sculpture known as La Regenta, located in the Plaza de Alfonso II, el Casto (in front of the Cathedral) in the city of Oviedo, is one of more than a hundred that adorn the streets of the aforementioned Spanish city. View of the statue of La Regenta with the Oviedo Cathedral in the background. The bronze sculpture is the work of Mauro Álvarez Fernández and dates back to 1997. It is a slightly larger-than-life-size statue that recreates a late 19th-century lady (representing Ana Ozores), placed directly on the pavement with a plaque at her feet. It is a tribute to the character and to the work in general of the great writer Leopoldo Alas "Clarín." Clarín's work is set in a fictional version of Oviedo called Vetusta. (Original) La escultura urbana conocida como La Regenta, ubicada en la plaza de Alfonso II, el Casto (frente a la Catedral), en la ciudad de Oviedo, es una de las más de un centenar que adornan las calles de la mencionada ciudad española. Vista de la estatua de La Regenta con la catedral ovetense al fondo. La escultura, hecha en bronce, es obra de Mauro Álvarez Fernández, y está datada en 1997. Se trata de una estatua a tamaño ligeramente superior al natural, que recrea a una dama de finales del siglo XIX (representando a Ana Ozores), situada directamente sobre el pavimento, con una placa a los pies. Es un homenaje al personaje y a la obra en general del gran literato Leopoldo Alas «Clarín». La obra de Clarín está ambientada en una versión ficticia de Oviedo llamada Vetusta.

(Translated by Google) Oviedo is beautiful, even in the rain. I recommend taking a guided tour to learn about the history of La Regenta. (Original) Muy bonito todo Oviedo incluso lloviendo. Recomiendo coger ruta guiada para conocer la historia de la Regenta.

For a Londoner with bountiful access to Michelin / bib gourmand restaurants, this is a 7/10. My artichokes were overseasoned and the toffee tuna was so literal. The reduction would have been too sweet even in a dessert.

Another good find for quality Asturian cuisine. The 'cabrito confitado' is a great dish to enjoy. Best to arrive in a share drive. Friendly staff. Recommended

Superb food in a lovely dining area. We had an early lunch here before flying home and were made to feel very welcome despite being nearly an hour earlier than most other lunch diners. Ordered a couple of glasses of wine which were poured by the half so that the wine could stay cold. Jamón croquettes were wonderfully creamy - perhaps could have done with a fruit sauce for a bit of contrast but this is a mild criticism. Mains were superb - solomillo lovely and juicy and the suckling pig had a wonderful crunchy top.

Excellent - we were given the Maridaje Premium menu as a present - superb - every course imaginative & delicious & the accompanying wines perfect. Great service - Maria was lovely, explaining each dish. A pleasant ambiente & a great experience all round - highly recommended.

This restaurant in Oviedo, Asturias, mentioned in the Michelin guide, is well deserved of a Michelin star. Starting with a lovely melon gazpacho, followed by an excellent Caviar with egg, and for the main entree a steak tartare with jalapeño and mustard ice creams. Then, to sweeten the palate, a typical dessert of my hometown, a Casadiella, a fried wheat pastry in Anisette filled with toasted walnuts and covered with white sugar. Finally, a nice brandy, Cardenal Mendoza, to end the evening. Awesome!!!!!

We tried the whole “Menú Degustación” and it was amazing, especially the ajoblanco and the sardinas. The entire experience was stellar and we even tried food never eaten before like the “Tendon de ternera”. The local white wine recommended by the dining room manager was perfect for the Menú. Service was impeccable and even Chef Luis Alberto Martinez came to say hi at the end of the evening. The restaurant inside is very nice and very quiet. We had one of our best dinners ever and a very pleasant time. I would definitely recommend it to anybody visiting Oviedo. Last but not least, prices were more than reasonable!

Every dish we tried was delicious and nicely plated. The service was very friendly and attentive and they have great wines to choose from. We lamented that we weren’t hungry enough to go for the tasting menu but will definitely be back to try it!

The views are amazing. It is a fair walk from oviedo but not too far. Windy at the top... Be prepared. But ultimately absolutely stunning. The woods on the way up are beautiful too. Lots of little streams. And the churches on route are well kept/restored.

Stunning. Part of a steep uphill walk from Oviedo.

Without the Naranco ridge Oviedo wouldn't be Oviedo.

There are some spectacular views at the top of Monte Naranco. You can overlook the city of Oviedo. The cathedrals and the football stadium are distinct. It definetly worth a visit particularly if you are a tourist or living there for a short while

Stunning views with a nice bar on the way back. Generally it's a hike worth doing to see more of Oviedo

Unbelievable views of oviedo and the cantabrian sea,depending on the weather.Easily accessible by car but it's better to hike the trail..

Beautiful views of Oviedo. Awesome place. Highly recommended

Located in the heart of Oviedo, this elegant building was constructed in the 17th century, combining Neoclassical and Baroque architectural styles. The façade is distinguished by a clock tower, a symbolic feature of the city hall. Connected to a square, it becomes a central hub for Christmas celebrations and festivals, featuring special lighting and events during festive seasons.

A beautiful square to see in Oviedo

City is bad planned…

Ok

Bonita

(Translated by Google) What a joy to walk through Oviedo on a rainy day and step on one of the 3,256 loose or broken tiles, letting a refreshing trickle of dirty water from the north trickle down your face. Not to mention these tiles, which are all the rage all over Asturias and must be the cheapest ones around... because they're loose everywhere... and when they're slightly rough, they become smooth and slippery, which is a real delight on rainy days. (Original) Que gozada pasear por Oviedo un día de lluvia y pisar una de las 3256 baldosas sueltas o rotas que hay para que te suelte un chorrito de agua refrescante y sucia del norte. Sin mencionar estás baldosas que estan de moda en todo Asturias y deben ser las más baratas que había ... porque en todos sitios están sueltas ... y cuando tienen cierto trote quedan lisas y patinan que da gusto en días de lluvia.

This is the central Plaza of the tiny casco historico of Oviedo, built over a hill. From the commercial and popular calles of the new Oviedo, go 2 southeast and sube un poco...: that it is 😶

Ideal

(Translated by Google) After the visit to the cathedral we went to the Plaza Alfonso II el Casto, in that area there is this garden next to the Chapel of Santa Eulalia, where there is a stone sculptural composition of the 12 Asturian kings or monarchs who successively occupied the throne of the Asturian kingdom. A way to remember where we come from. (Original) Después de la visita a la catedral nos dirigimos a la plaza Alfonso II el Casto, en esa zona se encuentra este jardín junto a la Capilla de Santa Eulalia, donde hay una composición escultórica en piedra de los 12 reyes o monarcas asturianos que ocuparon sucesivamente el trono del reino astur. Una forma de recordar de dónde venimos.

(Translated by Google) A very nice corner in Oviedo. It is not a very large park, but it has a special charm, especially because of the statues and how well maintained it is. Ideal for a short break or to read for a while in the sun. A cross-shaped fountain caught my eye that I hadn't seen before. The only thing is that there can be some noise if there are a lot of people, but in general it is a quiet and beautiful place. (Original) Un rincón muy agradable en Oviedo. No es un parque muy grande, pero tiene un encanto especial, sobre todo por las estatuas y lo bien cuidado que está. Ideal para una pausa corta o para leer un rato al sol. Me llamó la atención una fuente en forma de cruz que no había visto antes. Lo único es que puede haber algo de ruido si hay mucha gente, pero en general es un lugar tranquilo y bonito.

(Translated by Google) The Garden of the Caudillo Kings, next to Oviedo Cathedral, is a charming and peaceful spot in the heart of the historic center. It's notable for its statues of Asturian monarchs, which commemorate the importance of the Kingdom of Asturias in Spanish history. It's a perfect place to relax during a visit to the city center, surrounded by history and with beautiful views of the Cathedral. A well-kept, pleasant space, full of symbolism.

(Translated by Google) How I missed being able to return to Oviedo and have another chance to see these wonders. If you like the history of Asturias, and by extension, of Spain, and the statues and monuments that commemorate it, this is a place to visit. It's so close to the Cathedral that I think it's part of it. The statues you can see date back only to the end of the first half of the 20th century.

(Translated by Google) It is the heart of the Oviedo cathedral and is a part of its visit. Innumerable relics are preserved in the place, including the Holy Shroud of the Lord or the Cross of the Angels, a symbol of the Cathedral and the City. The negative side is that it is a small place, it is full of people and through the glass you see everything heaped (Original) Es el corazón de la catedral de Oviedo y es una parte de la visita de la misma.

(Translated by Google) Oviedo Cathedral. World Heritage Site. The Heart and Seed, commissioned by Alfonso II, was part of a primitive building. To summarize: The Holy Chamber, Pre-Romanesque, 9th-century, is located right next to the Old Tower. Two chapels, Santa Eulalia (crypt) and San Miguel, were superimposed and attached to the tower of San Miguel. During the 13th century, the wooden vault was replaced by the current barrel vault. The columns supporting this vault are the well-known Romanesque apostolate. Destroyed during the October Revolution, it was rebuilt in 1944. Its current appearance, except for safety measures and other features, corresponds to this last restoration. In 2015, the cathedral complex was included as an individual asset of the primitive path. It was an honor to visit it; I hope to return soon. (Original) Catedral de Oviedo. Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Corazón y germen mandado construir por Alfonso II formaba parte de una edificación primitiva. A modo de resumen muy somero: Càmara Santa, Prerromanico S.IX justo del lado de la Torre vieja. Dos capillas Santa Eulalia (cripta) y San Miguel, superpuestas adosadas a la torre de San Miguel durante el siglo XIII se sustituye la bóveda de madera por la actual bóveda de cañón. Las columnas que soportan esta bóveda es el conocido apostolado romànico. Destruida durante la Revolución de Octubre fué reconstruida 1944. El aspecto actual excepto las medidas de seguridad y demás corresponde a esa última rehabilitación. En 2015 el conjunto catedralicio se incluye como bien individual del camino primitivo. Un orgullo poder visitarla, espero volver pronto.

(Translated by Google) A place with a fascinating history. It's a small chapel that houses the region's most valuable relics, such as the Holy Ark and the Cross of Victory, symbols of great importance to Asturias. In addition to its religious significance, it's a pre-Romanesque architectural gem. It's like stepping back in time and experiencing the history of the area. (Original) Un lugar con una historia fascinante. Es una pequeña capilla que alberga las reliquias más valiosas de la región, como el Arca Santa y la Cruz de la Victoria, símbolos de gran importancia para Asturias.

(Translated by Google) A small cubicle within the cathedral, which was part of the pre-Romanesque church that gave rise to the present-day Cathedral of San Salvador. It houses the Holy Shroud, a few other relics, and several medieval crosses, including the Victory Cross. It's a shame it's all a bit cramped and can't be enjoyed more peacefully. (Original) Pequeño cubículo dentro de la catedral, que fue parte de la iglesia prerrománica que dió origen a la hoy catedral de San Salvador.

(Translated by Google) Gothic style cathedral located in the city of Oviedo (Principality of Asturias, Spain). It is also known as “Sancta Ovetensis”, referring to the quality and quantity of the relics it contains. The Cathedral of Oviedo has been a destination for pilgrims since ancient times.

Ver el Museo de la Iglesia con joyas como el conjunto eucarístico hecho en orfebrería con filigrana de plata enviado desde México por un indiano en el siglo XVIII y donado por la Parroquia asturiana de Santa María de Colombres (Ribadedeva). La "Hidra", una de las 6 tinajas de las "Bodas de Canaá" donde Jesucristo convirtió el agua en vino y que llegó a Oviedo en el siglo XI desde Tierra Santa para salvaguarda del creciente Islam.

Built around the 9th century during the reign of Alfonso III, this medieval fountain is one of the oldest functioning water facilities in Europe. It features architectural elements of the Asturian Pre-Romanesque style and is adorned with Christian cross motifs. Once a crucial water source for the citizens of Oviedo, it continues to flow water to this day.

Original 9th ​​century fountain, one of the few well preserved and in use examples of high medieval civil architecture. Difficult to park nearby, better to walk.

Beautiful ancient fountain just available to walk up to and around

Incredible public works piece from the middle ages. It could be maintained a little bit better however as it felt slightly neglected for a UNESCO site.

Beautiful reminder of the middle ages. Very near several great sidrerias too.

Remarkably intact ruin.

Patrimoniu de la Humanidá con más de 10 sieglos al llombu. World Heritage with more than 10 centuries of antiquity.

Small but very nice zoo. You get close to the animals and can even feed the parrots. A lot of the animals were rescued so you will be supporting a good cause.

We loved to feed the parrots with the seeds provided for them! We had a very good 2 hours here. It is a very small Zoo, just manage expectations. But we were able to come close to a few lovely animals, birds, monkeys and cerval and lynx.

Very nice place to enjoy with the family. Small place where we can see lots of animals (I don't like the word zoo). Very well cared animals, many of them loose in the park, delighting the children. Tour on foot or with a guide. Picnic area along the way with vending machines with snacks. The best is the work they do taking care of the collected animals and the great maintenance they have to do without external help. There is a “sponsorship” program to help with. Due to the lack of aid, access is not very good, but there is a small parking lot at the entrance.

Fantastic for the kids. I'm not a fan of Zoos but when it happens as a result of rescuing animals, in a good cause. The Australian section was very exciting for the kids.

Zoo El Bosque is a delightful place, small, but well looked after. Has a picnic area , a toilet, and a souvenir shop.

So much fun I had to go twice! It's hard to describe just how incredible this little gem is, one of the most fantastic places I've ever been. Definitely recommend a visit! Can be compared to world renowned zoos in quality and experience for a fraction of the price. Enjoy the opportunity to interact with the most spectacular animals- birds who speak Spanish and eat out of your hand, monkeys, ferrets and lemurs that will gladly take snacks provided from the front counter for a minimal cost. There are turtles, lynx, and several creatures I've never seen before like coati and marten. Many of which were abandoned, confiscated, or rescued to retire in peace in paradise. Beautiful plants and natural, well made habitats; quite the sanitary. What makes this truely amazing is not only the quaint size, accessibility, and location in the picturesque mountains of Asturias, but the genuine quality of care that the animals receive. The staff is kind, generous, and attentive. Absolutely incredible experience overall, and I can’t thank you enough for opening this beautiful wildlife center to the public and to the animals in need. Muchos Gracias for sharing your home and the special treasures within.

That is one of the most amazing places to visit if you are an animal lover!! They have all rescue animals there and they really need your contribution!! As they are not a real zoo they don't receive subvention from the government. The people who work there are truly amazing and you can see the love for these hurt animals in their eyes. Maybe they don't have a lot of space but they work with what they have. This is not a zoo, this is a safe haven for rescued and mistreated animals. And the only place like that that i know that will let you spend hours there just feeding parrots with nuts and fruits and you may feed lemurs in a special time during the weekend and learn their story which is truly disturbing. I love the fact that these kind of places exists and they should be cherished, not forgotten!!! So please, visit!! You will enjoy it and you will help the animals.

Beginning in 1912, construction of the Basilica de San Juan el Real began where another church had been demolished. However the origins of a church in this location date back to the 12th century. The neo- Romantic architecture is noticeable inside and out. It is worth a visit to see the details. There are even heaters inside the basilica.

A very ornate church, both outside and out. Smaller and quite modest in comparison to some of the other mega-cathedrals in Spain. Similar construction and alters and icons to most Catholic places of worship. The crypts of the right of the entrance are interesting but probably not for tourists.

Beautiful Basilica located near the centre of Oviedo and on the way out of it along the Camino de Primitivo route. Has an exquisite ceiling with dome and altar. Some divine chapels as well.

Just a nice church to have a look in.

Beautiful Basilica, we were about to live Oviedo and was lucky to get a glance of the basilica as it was opened. (Other times I had gone by it was closed) I had to read the about it in the internet, but was able to take a few pictures for posterity!

Beautiful building, intricate painting throughout the facility. It's worth visiting, but please be respectful of those worshipping.

Covadonga Basilica Real Santa María.

Interesting stadium in oviedo. Built on the side of a hilly region, so as you walk around the stadium, you get higher up . Can get some nice views in to the stadium from the most elevated portion of street around it.

Decent spanish football stadium in Oviedo, Asturias!

Watched a few groups 👍

Very nice! Especially watching Madrid win there.

THE CLUB SAVED BY SUPPORTERS In the autumn of 2000 the future was looking bright for Real Oviedo. The Asturian club had established themselves in the Primera División and had just inaugurated their publicly owned stadium, the Carlos Tartiere, with its capacity of 30,500 spectators. But the season did not work out as planned and on the very last day Real Oviedo were relegated, after 13 years in the top flight. With relegation came financial problems that threatened the club’s very existence. Their spell in the Segunda División lasted only two years, because in the 2002/03 season they were demoted still further, to the Spanish fourth division, after failing to pay their players. At this point, politicians in Oviedo chose to support local rivals Astur CF instead, which appeared to spell disaster for Real Oviedo. But the supporters mobilised, there were protest marches and they managed to raise enough money to save their club, if only temporarily. After a number of years in the lower divisions, there was still more trouble in the 2012/13 season. Real Oviedo, at that point in the third division, were once again in acute need of funds to stave off bankruptcy. At that point three global stars who had been nurtured by the club stepped up to the plate: Santi Cazorla, Juan Mata and Michu (Miguel Pérez Cuesta) joined up with the fans and contributed money for shares in the club. Real Madrid and Carlos Slim, one of the world’s richest men, also bought into the club. Word spread and within two weeks more than 20,000 people in more than 60 countries had bought shares in Real Oviedo. The club was saved. Since relegation from La Liga in 2001, the club have never sold less than 10,000 season tickets, which bears witness to their popularity, status and potential. CLUB: Real Oviedo NICKNAMES: Carbayones (a reference to an oak tree which was an important symbol of the city’s identity), Los Azules (the Blues), Los Godos (the Goths) and Oviedistas FOUNDED: 1926 STADIUM: Carlos Tartiere, Oviedo (30,500 capacity) HISTORIC PLAYERS: Abel Xavier, Paulo Bento, Berto, Viktor Onopko and Michu Real Oviedo winger Néstor Susaeta played for the club for four years from 2013, scoring 27 times in 150 apprearances.

Was in Oviedo for a friends birthday, we did a stadium tour on the Saturday and watched a game on Sunday. Really friendly club and if you are in town worth going to a game if you’ve got no plans and just enjoy football. Another stadium ticked off the list 👍

Nice stadium poor team

Plaza del Paraguas is a quiet public square in the old historic center of Oviedo.

Beautiful, sunny and quaint. Oviedo's old town is not to be missed. The food at Meraki is really good and Raquel, the waitress, is possibly the best in town. Wonderful city, wonderful Plaza del Paraguas. I dream of going back

Nice place quiet but in the old town

Nice place. Sometimes live music, always crowded bars arround.

Very authentic Indian cuisine. Delicious! 😋

Fabulous open air place in oviedo

Brutal

(Translated by Google) The Church of San Tirso el Real is a church and parish located in the Plaza de la Catedral of Oviedo, a few meters from the Santa Iglesia Catedral del Salvador. The church was founded by King Alfonso II the Chaste of Asturias in the 9th century. Logically, it has undergone numerous modifications throughout its more than 1,100 years of age. It was completely transformed at the end of the 12th century, which is why the Romanesque style predominates, and in the 14th century, when a large part of the temple was rebuilt. Furthermore, the church was destroyed by fire in 1521. The last modification occurred during the 20th century. Of the primitive church, only the head wall remains, the upper part being visible. From the outside, the tower also stands out, which is better seen from the back, as you come down Santa Ana Street towards the Plaza de Alfonso II El Casto. The original layout of the temple is completely unknown and we can only imagine that it had the classic division into three naves, with a tripartite head typical of Asturian churches of the time. (Original) La Iglesia de San Tirso el Real es una iglesia y parroquia situada en la plaza de la Catedral de Oviedo,  a escasos metros de la Santa Iglesia Catedral del Salvador. La iglesia es fundación del rey Alfonso II el Casto de Asturias en el siglo IX. Como es logico, ha sufrido numerosas modificaciones a lo largo de sus mas de 1100 años de antiguedad. Fue transformada en su totalidad a finales del siglo XII, por eso predomina el estilo románico, y en el siglo XIV, cuando se reedificó gran parte del templo. Además la iglesia fue destruida por un incendio en 1521. La última modificación se produjo durante el siglo XX. De la iglesia primitiva únicamente queda el muro testero de la cabecera, siendo visible la parte superior. Desde el exterior destaca tambien la torre, que se ve mejor por la parte de atras, segun se viene por la calle Santa Ana hacia la plaza de Alfonso II El Casto. La distribución original del templo se desconoce completamente y únicamente cabe imaginar que tuviera la clásica división en tres naves, con una cabecera tripartita típica de las iglesias asturianas de la época.

(Translated by Google) Alfonso II Square Oviedo Parish temple. San Tirso de Apolonia very frequent cult during the Middle Ages. Declared BIC since 1931. Of the pre-Romanesque original we only have the chancel (traffic window) that has a long history. The fire of 1521 left little, practically losing the 12th century Romanesque temple and the subsequent renovation. The current state is due to a reconstruction carried out in the 20th century. (Original) Plaza Alfonso II Oviedo Templo parroquial. San Tirso de Apolonia culto muy frecuente durante la Edad Media. Declarado BIC desde 1931. Del original prerrománico sólo nos queda la cabecera ( ventana trìfira) tiene una larga historia el incendio de 1521 dejo poco, perdiéndose prácticamente el templo románico del S. XII y la posterior renovación. El estado actual se debe a una reconstrucción realizada en el Siglo XX.

(Translated by Google) In the center, next to the Cathedral, is this construction, founded by King Alfonso II the Chaste in the 9th century. With numerous transformations and modifications, it was completely transformed at the end of the 12th century, in the Romanesque period, and in the 14th century, when a large part of the temple was rebuilt. Destroyed by fire in 1521, the last modification occurred during the 20th century.

(Original) Insolita Chiesa con una sola guglia, affascinante per la sua particolarità, anche se, girando per le vie di Oviedo, non è l'unica....

Culis Monimentalibus is a statue in an attractive part of Oviedo. It is often used as a symbol of the city.

Haha. That's great 😃

Blah outdoor sculpture, but seems to be very popular with the city folks.

Nice

Incredible.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely original. It caught my attention because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Four meters high, next to the Campoamor Theater.

Me ha llamado la atención porque no me podía creer lo que estaba viendo. Cuatro metros de altura, junto al teatro Campoamor. No sé cómo describir semejante obra, mejor vienes, lo ves y opinas 😉

(Translated by Google) A curious and much-photographed sculpture that will leave no one indifferent.

The statue itself is not my flow. The park on the other side is a beauty

It's a cute statue in San Francisco Park, in the center of Oviedo, in front of the duck pond. I didn't know anything about Mafalda as in Hungary we didn't have this comic so I looked up the story behind it. Its inauguration was in 2014 and Quino, its creator, was able to attend, since that same year 2014 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities.

Cute statue inside a beautiful park

Seems to be an overrated tourist spot with people in the queue to make a photo with this girl. Better take a walk around the beautiful park

Nice and surrounded by beautiful San Francisco park.

Nice statue, in the middle of a calm park

She's my girl!

Beautiful city! The historic center is very well kept, colorful and lively.

From the bus or train station head for the calle casteda. Carry on and you will pass a few wonderful places. I'll put them on my Camino fatal-bananas.blogspot if I don't get them all loaded here. It's a wonderful space with great bars and food

Oviedo turned out to be an incredibly beautiful, interesting and comfortable city. It's definitely underrated.

Beautiful town, with great gardens and walking areas, and the incredible cathedral! I will be back there soon to continue exploring their gastronomy, food is amazing!

We loved the Oviedo oldtown and its surrounding areas.

Quaint and cozy. And the best thing is that is hardly packed by tourists as in other parts of Spain. Really worth the trip here.

Super clean and nice

Beautiful views, beautiful maintained. Offleash dogs as always annoying and in high season it's overcrowded, but the walk itself is amazing .

Pista Finlandesa is a walking - running trail that runs along Monte Naranco on the outskirts of Oviedo. This trail offers excellent views of the city below and offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to exercise and do fitness in peace out in nature. Highly recommend for those who enjoy doing sports - fitness outdoors and as a an alternate route up to the two UNESCO world heritage sites further up the side of Mount Naranco.

The best.

Great

Good

(Translated by Google) Every time we come to Oviedo we like to go for a walk in this beautiful place. You are surrounded by vegetation, there is a great diversity of trees and everything is very well cared for. There are also tracks for cycling and sports equipment.

Monasterio de San Pelayo dates back to the 16th century. It was closed when I was there, only visited the outside.

Very beautiful place.

Cookies made my the nuns

Nice place to visit

(Translated by Google) San Vicente Street Oviedo. "The Pelayas" Monastery of San Pelayo Mártir, formerly of San Juan Bautista, until 994 where the relics were removed to a safer place. The origin of it can be dated to the 9th century by Alfonso II who dedicated a Basilica in the place and seems to have removed his sister so she is considered the first abbess. The truth is that Romanesque remains have been found in the foundations of the cloister. Since then, as usual, the passage of time and work left several phases of construction in the 15th and 16th centuries at the end of the 17th century, the great façade of the vicarage and vestibule in Baroque style, the work of Fray Pedro de Cardeña in 1703. It is undoubtedly the most extensive area in archaeological remains of the city. As a curiosity, after the revolution of 34, a crypt was located under the main nave, pre-Romanesque remains of a room whose function is still unclear, and a column and capital from the IX. More than a thousand years as a monastery that is said to be soon. Currently its ownership is ecclesiastical, a cloistered monastery where visits to its interior are not permitted. What I do recommend are the traditional sweets that they sell directly from their bakery, they are delicious. On sale for the most flamboyant in the house, try the San Blas donuts and tell me... (Original) Calle San Vicente Oviedo. "Las Pelayas" Monasterio de San Pelayo Mártir, anteriormente de San Juan Bautista, hasta el 994 donde las reliquias se retiran a lugar más seguro. El origen de puede datar en el Siglo IX por Alfonso II que dedica una Basìlica en el lugar y parece que retira a su hermana por lo que se considera la primera abadesa. Lo cierto es que se han hallado restos románicos en los cimientos del claustro. Desde entonces como es habitual el paso del tiempo y el trabajo dejo varias fases de construcción en los Siglos XV y XVI a finales del XVII la gran fachada de la vicaría y vestìbulo en estilo Barroco obra de Fray Pedro de Cardeña en 1703. Se trata sin duda de la zona más prolija en restos arqueológicos de la ciudad, como curiosidad tras la revolución del 34 se localizo una cripta bajo la nave principal restos prerrománicos de una estancia cuya función todavía no está clara y una columna y capitel del IX. Más de mil años como monasterio que se dice pronto. Actualmente su titularidad es eclesiástica,un monasterio de clausura donde no se permite su visita al Interior del mismo. Lo que si recomiendo son los dulces tradicionales que venden directamente de su obrador, están buenísimos. A la venta para los más llambiones de la casa, prueba las rosquillas de San Blas y me cuentas...

Totalmente frescos y deliciosos. Totalmente recomendado, no tienen preservantes y los detalles alégrenos como de expiración se cuidan al detalle. Gracias hermanas por tan lindo recuerdo y por los deliciosos dulces.

Excellent for walking or cycling

(Translated by Google) One of the most classic places to go hiking or cycling in Oviedo is this Green path, made on the route of the old narrow gauge railway that went to Fuso. The route is practically flat and, although at the beginning it runs parallel to the A66 (and, in fact, crosses it via an overpass) it soon enters completely rural areas, some of which are forest and others of meadow. The route also goes through numerous tunnels, some relatively long, and is very well maintained, also having numerous areas to rest, with tables and benches. Ideal to do at any time of the year and it also connects with other routes so, especially if done by bicycle, you can continue much further. Finally, since there is practically no unevenness, it can be done at any age. (Original) Uno de los sitios más clásicos para hacer senderismo o ir en bicicleta por Oviedo es esta senda Verde, realizada sobre el trazado del antiguo ferrocarril de vía estrecha que iba hasta Fuso. El trazado es prácticamente llano y, aunque al inicio va paralelo a la A66 (y, de hecho, la cruza por un paso superior) pronto se introduce en zonas completamente rurales, algunas de bosque y otras de pradería. La ruta además atraviesa numerosos túneles alguno relativamente largo, y está muy cuidada, teniendo además numerosas zonas para descansar, con mesas y bancos. Ideal para hacer en cualquier época del año y además conecta con otras rutas por lo que, sobre todo si se hace en bicicleta, se puede seguir mucho más allá. Por último, al no existir prácticamente desnivel alguno, se puede hacer con cualquier edad

(Translated by Google) A perfect route for walking or cycling, surrounded by greenery and very well equipped. The best thing is that it starts from the old train track, so it has a very comfortable route and spectacular landscapes almost the entire way. I did the route by bike with a friend and we stopped at several points to take photos. We passed families, runners and people walking dogs. It has a good atmosphere, but without stress. An ideal plan for an active morning surrounded by nature, without leaving Oviedo. (Original) Una ruta perfecta para caminar o ir en bici, rodeada de verde y muy bien acondicionada. Lo mejor es que parte de la antigua vía del tren, así que tiene un trazado muy cómodo y paisajes espectaculares casi todo el camino. Hice la ruta en bici con un amigo y paramos en varios puntos a sacar fotos. Nos cruzamos con familias, corredores y gente paseando perros. Tiene buen ambiente, pero sin agobios. Un plan ideal para una mañana activa en plena naturaleza, sin salir de Oviedo.

(Translated by Google) I admire nature, very nice places! We live nearby, we walk almost every day What surprised me was the culture of movement, everyone walks on the right side, cyclists calmly overtake, there is no loud music! There are rest areas and fountains with water, personally I would like a toilet, if you do not walk for a long time, then ok, but if you do a long workout, then it will not be superfluous (Original) Я любуюсь природой, очень приятные места! Живем недалеко, гуляем почти каждый день Что меня удивило, так это культура передвижения, все идут по правой стороне, велосипедисты спокойно обгоняют, нет громкой музыки! Есть места отдыха и фонтанчики с водой, лично мне хотелось бы еще туалет, если не долго гулять, то и ок, а вот если тренировку долгую делать, то не лишним не будет

(Translated by Google) I loved it. It's an ideal route to clear your mind and appreciate nature. I did it on skates, and except for a wooden bridge with uneven planks and some sections with more cobblestone asphalt, the route is perfectly doable. There are two small drinking fountains along the entire route and only one relatively long tunnel. Along the way, you can see cows, beautiful flowers, and a wealth of varied vegetation, including the Nalon River. (Original) La amé. Es una ruta ideal para despejar la mente y apreciar la naturaleza. La hice en patines y, exceptuando un puente de madera con tablones desnivelados y algún que otro tramo con asfalto más empedrado, la ruta se puede realizar perfectamente. Hay dos fuentecitas de agua potable en todo el trayecto y solo un túnel relativamente largo. Por el camino se pueden apreciar vacas, hermosas flores, muchísima y variada vegetación el río Nalon.

(Original) Una senda bastante llana y fácil para poder hacer ejercicio todas las edades caminando corriendo patinando en bici y si lo quieres complicar un poco más pues te la puedes hacer entera hasta las Caldas

A surprisingly expansive park with lots of space for walking, riding bikes, or sitting with family and friends.

A beautiful area in Oviedo. It is a park with lots of grass! There are many spots to have a picnic and it is a great place for a walk or to go jogging. There is a trail that used to be the old railroad and if you head far out west, you can go along this walking route through tunnels to reach a river. I would recommend cycling this route as the path is relatively flat.

Great views, good layout. Green areas, gym, and skatepark. Good route leading out for walkers, runners, and cyclists.

We absolutely loved the day we spent in Parque Invierno which is by far the largest park in Oviedo. We had some refreshment in a lovely alpine style restaurant in the park which looked great especially when the whole park is framed by the stunning Picos D'Europa mountains. A great park for dogs both on/off lead and for families too as there are numerous play areas and even a skateboarding park for the teens.

BEAUTIFUL PARK LOCATED NEAR TO OF AVENUE MUÑOZ DEGRAIN. THERE ARE MANY TREES, ONE PARK FOR CHILD, A EXERCISE PARK FOR ADULTS. THE PEOPLE CAN PLAY SOCCER AND OTHERS SPORTS. YOU CAN RIDE A BIKE, RUN OR WALK. IT´S PERFECT FOR ENJOY WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Wonderful

I like this park. There is nothing special, but this place is very friendly.

This site introduces the history and architectural characteristics of the traditional Asturian granary, the hórreo. The exhibition space features various models and informational materials, and visitors can also see an actual hórreo up close. Notably, the village of Bueño (known as Güeñu in Asturian) is one of the places in Asturias with the highest number of well-preserved hórreos. Exploring both the museum and its surroundings offers a deep insight into this traditional architectural style.

La Maternidad de Botero is another statue in Oviedo that is highly iconic of the city.

Hermosa

(Translated by Google) Escandalera Square Oviedo. Fernando Botero with his particular style represents the feeling and affection of a mother with her child on her lap. La Maternidad is a bronze work inaugurated in 1996 in the Plaza de la Escandalera. The abundance of statues is notable in Oviedo, I give some of them relevance, more than one remains in my mind but we do what we can. In any case, it is another reason to stop for a moment in any corner. (Original) Plaza de la Escandalera Oviedo.

(Translated by Google) The universe of a Botero society takes on a synthetic dimension in sculpture. Starting with the monochromaticism of the metal with the texture of the black ebony wood and a powerful simplicity in the forms. A condensation that does not cease to identify its author. Oviedo is great with this work and Botero spreads his magic even further around the world. (Original) L'univers d'una societat Boteriana agafa una dimensió sintètica en l'escultura. Començant pel monocromatisme del metall amb la textura de la fusta negre d'èban i una potent simplicitat en les formes. Una condensació que no deixa d'identificar el seu autor. Oviedo és fa gran amb aquesta obra i Botero escampa la seva màgia encara més arreu del món.
