Things to do in Oviedo, Asturias: The Best Tours

June 7, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

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).

This experience gives you the opportunity to be a real Oventense (person from Oviedo) for a day, by doing something they love: walking a Senda Verde (green route), relaxing in an old Spa and enjoying a typical Asturian lunch! You start in Parque de Invierno in the south of Oviedo. The route follows an old railway line, about which your guide tells you more during the hike. The car-free road starts in the park but soon leads through the Asturian countryside. You walk through old train tunnels and cross Asturias' most important river, the Nalon. During your hike the guide tells you more about the natural surroundings, history, culture and gastronomy of Asturias. After 10k, you arrive at the Spa in Las Caldas where you spend 2.5 hours in its warm water and saunas. After this, you enjoy a well-deserved Menu del Dia (three-course menu) in one of the village's restaurants. Then, a private car brings you back to Oviedo.

Inclusions: You're served a typical Asturian lunch or Menu del Dia; a three-course meal including drinks in one of the village's local restaurants., Snack and a bottle of water, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: The entrance ticket to the Spa (between 14 and 25 euros pp, depending on the season)

Debora was a fantastic guide for the El Camino Santiago!! She communicated with us before hand and kept us up to date. Explaining how to get to the cathedral could improve, but so minor in the whole experience. She was very knowledgeable about the Camino and sights along the way. I am 68 and in fair shape. The hike was a challenge, but she was very considerate and encouraging. I finished and it was an amazing experience. Plus, we had a beautiful day. Debora also had s walking stick for me that was a great help!
