Discover the Charm of Oviedo
Walking through Oviedo feels like stepping into a city where history and modern life exist in perfect harmony. Its beautifully preserved old town is filled with elegant streets, lively squares, cafés and traditional sidrerías where locals gather to enjoy Asturias’ famous natural cider.
Don’t miss the impressive Oviedo Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture located in the heart of the city. Nearby, you’ll find the charming Plaza del Fontán, home to one of the city’s most traditional markets, where you can experience local life and discover regional products.
Art lovers will enjoy the city’s many sculptures, including the famous statue of Woody Allen, who once described Oviedo as “a fairy tale city.”
For those interested in Spanish history, a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage churches of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo offers breathtaking views over the city and a fascinating glimpse into Asturias’ medieval past.
Experience Authentic Asturian Culture
Oviedo is also famous for its exceptional gastronomy. Enjoy traditional dishes such as fabada asturiana, cachopo, artisan cheeses and fresh seafood while practising your Spanish in local restaurants and cafés.
Our teachers accompany many of the activities, encouraging natural conversation and helping students gain confidence in everyday situations. Every meal becomes an opportunity to expand your vocabulary, improve your listening skills and experience Spanish culture beyond the classroom.
Excursion to Cudillero: Asturias’ Most Colourful Fishing Village
No visit to Asturias is complete without exploring Cudillero, one of Spain’s most picturesque coastal villages.
Built into the hillside overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, its colourful fishermen’s houses create one of the most iconic landscapes in northern Spain. Wander through its narrow streets, admire spectacular viewpoints and relax at the harbour while tasting freshly caught seafood.
Cudillero perfectly captures the charm, beauty and tranquillity of the Asturian coast.
Discover Avilés: History Meets Contemporary Art
Our journey also includes the historic town of Avilés, one of Asturias’ hidden treasures.
Its beautifully preserved medieval centre is full of elegant arcades, colourful buildings and lively cafés. Visitors can stroll through Plaza de España before exploring the striking Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre, an architectural masterpiece that brings contemporary art and culture to this historic town.
Avilés offers a fascinating combination of tradition, creativity and local life.

The final stop on our excursion is the vibrant coastal city of Gijón, where beaches, culture and gastronomy come together.
Walk along the beautiful San Lorenzo Beach, explore the historic neighbourhood of Cimavilla, visit the marina and enjoy the lively atmosphere of one of northern Spain’s most dynamic cities.
