Oviedo

Oviedo sits tucked between the Cantabrian Mountains and the glittering Bay of Biscay, in sunny northwest Spain. It's best known for its medieval quarter, liberally scattered with centuries-old religious architecture, the star of which is the Gothic Oviedo Cathedral.

Keeping Oviedo young is a vibrant student population, as well as a top-notch collection of restaurants, and lively modern shopping streets. Other attractions here include The Archaeological Museum of Asturias, which features a treasure trove of religious exhibits, and the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias, which is jam-packed with Spanish artworks and resides within 2 former palaces.
