Photographing Oviedo

An elegant Asturian capital with rare pre-Romanesque churches and cider culture.

Where to shoot

  • Santa Maria del Naranco — a 9th-century pre-Romanesque royal hall on a hillside above the city, with the mountains rising behind.
  • Oviedo Cathedral — a Gothic cathedral with a single soaring tower, anchoring the old town's main square.
  • Casco Antiguo — the old town's pedestrian streets and squares scattered with modern public sculptures.
  • Calle Gascona — the cider street, lined with sidrerias where cider is poured theatrically from overhead.

When to go

Late spring through early autumn (May–September) offers the mildest, driest weather in this rainy region; summer brings cultural festivals and green landscapes.

What to eat

Fabada asturiana (a rich bean stew), strong Cabrales blue cheese and naturally fermented Asturian cider.

Where to stay

Stay in or beside the Casco Antiguo for the cathedral, cider houses and easy access up to Monte Naranco.

Walk or drive up Monte Naranco for the pre-Romanesque churches and a panorama back over the city and mountains.
