oviedo in a day 🗺️🌿

morning (＾▽＾)ﾉ start in the old town around the cathedral of san salvador: gothic tower, cloister and the cámara santa (for relic fans). then drift between plazas — plaza de la catedral, plaza del fontán, plaza de la constitución — all very walkable, clean and compact. midday (｡•‿•)っ walk over to campo de san francisco, the big central park with long paths, old trees and random statues (yes, there’s a mafalda bench). nice spot to sit with a coffee and just watch people. if you like museums, pick one: • arqueológico de asturias in a former monastery (pre-roman, roman and asturian pieces) • museo de bellas artes with works by goya, picasso, dalí and more, spread over historic palaces (my choice!) afternoon head up to monte naranco for the pre-romanesque churches santa maría del naranco and san miguel de lillo (bus/taxi or a longer walk). both are tiny, stone and very “game-like”, and together they’re a unesco site with big views back to oviedo. evening (╹◡╹) back in town, finish on calle gascona — the “bulevar de la sidra” — with asturian cider poured from up high and plates of fabada, cachopo or whatever your appetite allows. it’s lively, but still feels local. #oviedo #asturias #oldtown #catedralsansalvador #plazadelfontan #campodesanfrancisco #santamariadelnaranco #sanmigueldelillo #montearanco #sidra #callegascona #bulevardelasidra #fabada #cachopo #northspain #daytrip #citywalk #itinerary #travelguide #tripcom
