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.

So without any itinerary, we proceeded to walk west from our apartment and found ourselves in a park called Campo de San Francisco. Within its grounds were carefully manicured lawns and magnificent trees punctuated with old and new low key structures, examples of which are an ancient arch, modern sculptures, outdoor cafe, children’s playground, skateboard park, and hidden ponds populated by ducks and the ubiquitous pigeons. Each tree had an information placard that identified its genus and species much like a botanical garden. Its tranquil atmosphere stands in contrast to the traffic around its periphery. It was the perfect setting to have another cafe americano!

Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo are two pre-romanic churches located in Naranco, a hill within a 30 min walk or 10 min car drive from Oviedo city center, and they're worth a visit. Plus, you'll have an extraordinary view.
