Tour description

Discover the most popular side of Oviedo–Uvieo and immerse yourself in the authentic Asturian culture . We will even bring you closer to the world of cider .

Why is Asturias a principality ? Why are the inhabitants of Oviedo called "carbayones" ? Did you know that the Camino de Santiago was our “invention”? What is the origin and meaning of the Asturian flag ?

An official tourist guide dressed in the Asturian hat (the montera picona ) will accompany us through the most emblematic places of Oviedo-Uvieo to get closer to the most traditional neighborhoods of its old town , where the medieval, the baroque and the contemporary come together. They mix perfectly: The square and the market of El Fontán , Los Trescorrales , La Escandalera , the Rúa palace , the church of San Isidoro, the colorful streets of Mon and Cimavilla or the exteriors of the Cathedral .

We will tour the authentic Oviedo through its gastronomy , its festivals and folixes , its History and most importantly, its people , remembering real people such as Clarín , Doña Balesquida or Pachu Barbes.

To complete the experience, we will teach you how to pour like a true Asturian in a friendly and fun way. You dare?

Great first tour of the old town in English. Really interesting and lots of fun facts. Not too much walking so great for less able bodied. Some amazing details about parts of the area we would have walked past without ever knowing them. All of our questions were brilliantly answered. Great experience and would recommend.

La visita guiada de Jorge fue de 10 🤩. Todo lo que explicó fue muy interesante y lo hizo de manera muy amena. Sin lugar a duda, la parada que más me gustó fue la de la lengua asturiana. Si en algún momento tengo que hacer otro tour, no dudaría en volver a escogerle como guía! Como diríais aquí: gracies!
