Oviedo Walking Tour
Oviedo, Spain
Why Walk Oviedo
Oviedo was the capital of the early medieval Kingdom of Asturias, and its outskirts preserve remarkable pre-Romanesque churches from the 9th century — among the oldest Christian buildings in Spain. The compact old town, largely rebuilt after Civil War damage, has a fine Gothic cathedral and a network of lively streets devoted to sidrerias (cider bars) where cider is poured from a height to aerate it.

Best Time to Visit
May through September. Asturias is Spain's wettest region — bring a rain layer. The mild summers make it a refuge from southern Spanish heat.
