Holiday rentals in Oviedo

Oviedo is a city in the Asturias region of northern Spain that sits on the Atlantic coast. One of the most important things to see in Oviedo is the Cathedral of San Salvador. Masons began building this Gothic church in 1348 and finished at the end of the 15th century, and it is one of the principal stations for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Inside there is a revered statue of Christ and the church’s one tower reached over 200ft in height. For nature lovers the Campo de San Francisco Park is a downtown area full of trees and flowerbeds, statues and water features for visitors to enjoy. Outside of the city, the Santa Maria del Naranco hill holds two Pre-Romanesque buildings of interest. In the city itself there are many baroque and medieval buildings to visit and enjoy for their history and architecture. Oviedo apartments offer visitors the chance to stay in the centre of town near to the central attractions.
