Serviced Apartments in Oviedo

Conveniently located just 20 minutes from the north coast of Spain, Oviedo is the capital city of the Principality of Asturias and has a population of about 225,000 people. The city has a reputation for fine architecture, high culture and a strong sporting tradition. Holiday rentals in Oviedo are open to tourists all year round and the traditional summer season runs from June to September.

Considering the legend that two monks founded the city in 761 AD, it comes as no surprise that there are some excellent religious monuments and landmarks to be seen. The premier of which is the Cathedral of San Salvador; built in 1288 on the size of a previous religious building, it also contains the Holy Chamber of Oviedo which predates the cathedral by about 400 years. These buildings are important to the locals and can be easily reached on foot from Oviedo city centre (center) apartments.

Indeed, the city is absolutely chock full of religious architecture with other landmarks of note being the San Miguel de Lillo ninth century church, the basilica of San Julian de los Prados, and the Monastery of San Vincente. The latter of these currently contains the excellent Architectural Museum of Asturius, itself a fantastic attraction. Staying in a holiday apartment in Oviedo gives you access to all of these fantastic landmarks and many more; best discovered on foot by simply strolling around this relaxed city.

Sport plays a large role in everyday life for local residents, especially watching the city's football team, Real Oviedo play in the Spanish second division. Somewhat unusually, the club’s 30,000 capacity Estadio Carlos Tartiere is comfortably within walking distance of the city centre and you will see the fans making their way to the ground at least once a week. If you do not feel like joining in yourself, there is a good chance you will hear cheers emanating from the ground while relaxing in your Oviedo self-catered apartment or serviced flat.

Seeing as short-term apartments in Oviedo are only about a 20 minute drive from the coastal city of Gijon on the Bay of Biscay, a day out in this city, or another on the coast, is a popular day trip for both locals and tourists. Travelling inland from Oviedo there are a number of traditional towns to visit such as Mieres del Camino, Riaño and Laviana. Make the most of this excellent location by exploring both the coastline and the countryside during your stay.
