Overview

Discover the most popular side of Oviedo–Uvieo and immerse yourself in authentic Asturian culture on this tour *in Spanish.

Why is Asturias a principality? Why are the inhabitants of Oviedo called “carbayones”? Did you know that the Camino de Santiago was an “invention” of ours?

An official tour guide will accompany us through the most emblematic places in Oviedo–Uvieo to bring us closer to the most traditional parts of the neighbourhoods in its old town, where the medieval, the baroque and the contemporary blend perfectly: The square and the market of El Fontán, Los Trescorrales, La Escandalera, the palace of la Rúa, the church of San Isidoro, the colourful streets of Mon and Cimavilla or the exterior of the Cathedral.

We will explore the old Oviedo through its gastronomy, its festivals and folixes, its history and, most importantly, its people, remembering real characters such as Clarín, Doña Balesquida or Pachu Barbes. What are you waiting for to sign up?
