I agree with Woody Allen. After cycling and walking the Camino del Norte and enjoying many splendid northern Spanish cities and towns, Oviedo is special. I spent 10 days in Carmen and Amador's apartment in Autumn 2015, first with my husband and then later a friend. The apartment was clean, spacious and the best located of the many apartments I stayed in during my 9 weeks in Spain. Despite being literally across the street from the market, the bedrooms were quiet. But it did make it so easy to pop out for supplies from the market for dinner, or walk two minutes further to the supermarket. Around each corner was another bar, another cafe, another church, another free museum or gallery. We walked everywhere, especially enjoying the pedestrianised older part of the city with its twists and turns. Make sure you pilgrimage to the various pre-Romanesque churches which are fascinating and all different. It's also a short walk to the bus station to catch local buses to the coast or a regional one to Leon. Carmen was an attentive, friendly hostess who spoilt us with her delicious rice pudding. We have very fond memories of our stay in Oviedo. A memorable apartment in a memorable city.
