Esculturas Oviedo

Reviewed By PostcardsFromVLC

On our visit to Oviedo, we were pleasantly surprised to see all the statues planted all over the city. We then did a little research and we were able to visit 22 of them. Amazing!!!! So many sculptures. So little time. Oviedo, the capital city of Asturias, boasts over 100 sculptures that include statues of a milkmaid and donkey based on a local character from the early 1900s, a traveller surrounded by luggage, pregnant and nursing mothers, what looks to be the world’s largest buttocks sculpture and of course, Woody Allen!

Monumento a la Madre del emigrante

Reviewed By TimDore - Marana, United States

This beautiful statue is in honor of the Mothers of the Asturians that emigrated to find a land with more opportunity. The Mother is saying goodbye to her children with the wave of her hand. The look on her face is haunting in that it is despair, fear and loneliness yet hope for a bright future. The statue is by Ramón Muriedas and was placed there in 1970. If you arrive in Gijon via cruise ship it is about a 4 mile walk to the park, but taxis are plentiful and this park might be included in a shore excursion.
