Tour description

Welcome and welcome to the ancient city of Oviedo.


Join us on our peculiar pilgrimage route , from its nebulous indigenous origins to its destruction during the Spanish Civil War, rubbing shoulders with medieval kings and experiencing political and cultural revolutions.

The ancient capital of the kingdom of Asturias, with its 1,200 years of antiquity, was the first starting point of the Camino de Santiago and the first cradle of Spanish illustration. Join us to discover why from the hand of illustrious and unknown characters who will guide us on a journey through its gastronomy, customs and folklore as well as its peculiar culture full of art, literature and traditions that looks to the future with a renovating impulse, without renouncing its glorious past full of myths, legends and identity.

My friend and I visited Oviedo and booked this tour. The English tour was approximately 2.5 hours long and the guide Ali provided a very thorough and entertaining history of Oviedo. We appreciated her knowledge and keeping the tour group (from Alabama, Australia, and Germany) engaged. Would highly recommend.
