Tour description

Visit: I would love to show you my city and the secrets of what was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Asturias, the city from which the first pilgrim departed for Santiago de Compostela and the site where the Princess of Asturias Awards are held.

We begin the visit knowing the old town of Oviedo, its wall and the most emblematic buildings.

We will get to know the neighborhoods of Socastiello, the Episcopal Villa and the mercantile district that shaped the old Oviedo and we will enter the vibrant and cultural Oviedo of today that mixes Asturian traditions and avant-garde, giving rise to a reference in gastronomy and culture.
