General presentation
Oviedo, Gijón et côte asturienne
Asturian cities, Atlantic beaches, cider, fishing villages, preroman and green coast very different from the Mediterranean.
The discovery of Oviedo, Gijón and the Asturian coast revolves around Oviedo, Gijón and Cudillero. The stay thus alternates between urban life, coastline, heritage and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: wet weather and beaches cooler than the Mediterranean. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage City
Oviedo
Oviedo presents itself as a compact city where heritage and daily uses dialogue in a readable mesh. The interest comes from these transitions between squares, small streets and old buildings crossed by a very real present life. An unhurried discovery avoids losing the details that give relief to the historic center.
Cotier City
Gijon
Gijón is understood by oscillating between the coastal centre, the living urban district and the quieter passages. Streets and facades are used as a frame to identify the transition between the sea and the city. It is a stage that benefits from a slow walk, especially in coastal areas where air, noise and light are rhythmizing the experience.
Fishing village
Cudillero
Cudillero is an amphitheater floor around its small harbour, with colourful houses hanging on the slope and stairs that sometimes replace the streets. The village requires a little breath, but each landing opens a different angle on roofs, boats and the Asturian coast.
