Things to do in Oviedo, Asturias: The Best Cultural Tours

July 31, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

Oviedo is a treasure trove of Spanish religious architecture, dotted with monasteries, cathedrals and shrines that date all the way back to the 9th century. Soak up the rich history of the city by experiencing El Fontán Market, the San Isidoro el Real Church and the Castle of San Juan de Priorio, then shift aesthetic gears and check out modern architectural gems like the Prince Felipe Auditorium and the Jirafa building.

Have you heard about the Camino de Santiago and even considered walking one of its itineraries (yes, there are multiple routes!)? But you do not have the possibility to take a few weeks off? Or are you doubting whether you are able to hike 20-30 km for multiple days in a row? This tour offers you the possibility to be a pilgrim for half a day by walking part (i.e. 12 kilometers) of the 'Camino Primitivo'. Along the way, I will share specific insights with you about the Asturian history, gastronomy and nature.

Inclusions: A bottle of water and 2 typical Asturian snacks are included., Pilgrim Credential/ Passport of the Camino de Santiago, Private guide during the whole trip, Insurances

Exclusions: Taxi back- we'll share the costs (3-6 euros p.p, depending on the amount of travelers).

As a mother with two children, this was not it. Boring, exhausting for my smallest child and none of us learned anything from here. Stay away!

The guide was SO informative and interesting. You get to see the whole church, skip the long line and learn a ton of history about the Sagrada Familia. Worth every penny.
