Oviedo

Oviedo, the capital of the Principality of Asturias, is a city of colourful corners and lively streets where life goes by at the leisurely pace of a city with the soul of a small town. Planning a getaway to the city and choosing the best among the hotels in Oviedo is all it takes to realize that in these latitudes time has a different rhythm. Oviedo invites its guests to put down roots beyond the holidays, creating with its tradition bonds as firm, deep and sweet as the heart of the carballones, the typical cakes of the city.

If there is something that all parts of Asturias have in common it is the way the scenery captivates travellers. This autonomous region is also full of contrasts and is immersed between the imposing mountains of the interior and the romantic nostalgia of its fishing villages.

If in every city there is an element that articulates the soul of the city and sets the rhythm of the days, in Oviedo that irreplaceable organ is El Fontán. This market, erected in the 18th century on the edge of the oldest part of the city, boasts of being one of the most beautiful in Spain (especially on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, when the street stalls take over the streets). Not far from here stands the Catedral de El Salvador, a magnificent example of Gothic architecture watched over by the statue of La Regenta, the protagonist of the literary work of the same name written by Leopoldo Alas 'Clarín' and set in the city of Oviedo (called Vetusta in literary fiction).

The Plaza de la Escandalera delimits the Historic Centre of Oviedo from the shopping area, and serves as a gateway to other outstanding places such as the San Francisco Park, where you can enjoy the afternoon with an ice cream in summer or roasted chestnuts in winter, and the famous Campoamor Theatre, where the Prince of Asturias Awards are presented. A visit to the Centre also requires a stop in Gascona Street, a place where the gastronomic essence of the 'Tierra Astur' is concentrated. An area full of cider bars, establishments serving cider and excellent food with the unmistakable touch of homemade food.

The offer of hotels in Oviedo offers the traveller the opportunity to participate in the daily life of the city without having to make long journeys. These hotels are located in the heart of the city and are integrated into the routines and architectural design of the capital of the Principality of Asturias.

The hotel Barceló Oviedo Cervantes respects the style of this stately city, giving the city an undeniable touch of distinction. But beyond an appearance, these establishments are a space for rest and enjoyment, and that is why no detail is lost in everything related to the comfort of the guests: pillow and aroma menu, hydromassage shower with rain effect, WiFi in all rooms and common areas, 24/7 room service... In short, everything that makes your stay at Oviedo as comforting and welcoming as your own home.
