Centro De Interpretacion Del Horreo

It is located in Guenu/Bueno, only 5 minutes away from Oviedo. It is the perfect setting for knowing the magic world of the Asturian 'horreo' (corncrib): its origin, evolution, types, the secret of its longevity and functionality... The expository discourse is rigorous but also enjoyable and didactic, with special attention to the children. After visiting the centre, it is offered guided tours to Bueno, in order to know and understand in place the valuable legacy of its ethnographic patrimony.

Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias

Reviewed By Brimble - Lagos, Portugal

I'm very pleased to say that, contrary to usual Spanish expectations, the museum was actually open for a few hours on a Sunday. And very pleased we were... First things first, it's free. But we wouldn't have minded paying for such a treat. The informative layout, with both English and Spanish notes, is welcoming, interesting and a work of genuine passion The collection is varied, with many local artists well represented, alongside a couple of 'cameo' pieces from Picasso, Miro, Gargallo, Braque, etc. No crowds, so a leisurely stroll through the three levels, each representing different styles and periods. This was a real privilege, for which we are grateful. Not to be missed.

Catedral de San Salvador de Oviedo

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The Cathedral dates back to the 8th century, though it was substantially rebuilt in Gothic style in the 13th and 14th centuries, with major Baroque additions in the 17th and 18th centuries. The cathedral contains many relics including pieces of the holy shroud and one of the urns which are said to have been used for the water Jesus turned into wine. As with many cathedrals, the stonemasons saved their most creative work for the cloister - no two of the stone capitals are the same, though the cloister is a little odd with a Baroque addition on top. Originally the carvings would have been painted, of which traces remain. Off of the cloister is the beautiful Chapter House with its octagonal vaulting and carved seats. One of the glories of the cathedral is the altarpiece with the images set in a gilded wooden frame and there is an extensive and fascinating museum open as part of your visit.
