"Curious Oviedo: Anecdotes, Secrets and Surprising Characters"
Tour description
A unique walk through a city full of details that go unnoticed... until now.
Oviedo is a city steeped in history, art, and architecture… but it's also a city filled with unusual anecdotes, unique characters, and interesting facts that don't appear in tourist guides .
On this tour, I invite you to discover the most original and entertaining version of Oviedo through short stories, surprising facts, and places with a unique soul. Ideal for those who already know the city... or for those who want to experience it in a fun, intimate, and unique way.
This isn't a tour of dates, kings, and battles (although some will be included). It's a walking tour through the city's most human and unique side . I'll tell you things like:
- Why is there a statue of Mafalda sitting on a bench?
- Which Oviedo figure went from being admired to being persecuted … and is now a sculpture with glasses?
- Did you know that there are more than 100 sculptures in Oviedo , and many of them have a story that's as strange as it is funny?
- Where is the most mistakenly photographed corner... and what does it have to do with an umbrella?
- What surprising anecdote did Woody Allen experience when he visited the city?
Together we will visit
- Plaza de Alfonso II el Casto (starting in front of the Cathedral): the historic heart and the starting point.
- The Regent and her critical gaze : a statue that observes everything… and makes you think.
- Cimadevilla Street and Rúa Street : buildings with details that no one looks at… but everyone should.
- Fontán Market and Plaza del Paragua : humor, tradition, and the secrets of everyday life in Oviedo.
- Campoamor Theatre and the behind-the-scenes of the Princess of Asturias Awards : celebrity anecdotes and little-known stories.
😄 Why take this tour?
- Because you will laugh, be surprised and learn without realizing it .
- Because it's not a "by-the-book" tour, but rather a relaxed and entertaining experience , like a walk with someone who knows the city well.
- Because children, adults and even the people of Oviedo have a good time .
- Because it is a different way to discover local history: through people, sculptures and small details .
If you're looking to experience Oviedo in a different way , without rushing, with interesting facts, good vibes, and a different perspective... this is the tour for you.
See you in Vetusta!
