[Introduction]: The Asturias region is not only similar to Spain in terms of geographical location, but also has green Spain's mountains, grasslands, forests, lakes, and unique folk culture, forming a "green paradise" of freedom and healing. ⛺【Must-visit local places】: The highest peak of the mountain range is located in the famous Picos de Europa National Park, which was declared the first national park in Spain by King Alfonso XIII. The rolling mountains, deep and tranquil valleys and mirror-like lakes form a dreamy landscape painting here. The lower water temperature keeps the green Spanish region cool and pleasant even in summer. The winding coastline has given rise to countless magnificent bays and hidden beaches. Comarca de Oviedo is not only the filming location of the movie "Midnight in Barcelona" starring Scarlett Johansson, but also the cultural center and soul of Asturias. Churches, temples, palaces, fountains, six pre-Romanesque buildings have been awarded the title of World Heritage by UNESCO. Half of these valuable architectural heritages from the early Middle Ages are located in Oviedo. Acuario de Gijon The Aquarium of Gijon allows you to experience the unique charm of the world's major oceans and rivers, such as the Atlantic Sea, the Pacific Sea and the Red Sea. The aquarium covers an area of ​​4,000 square meters, where visitors can see approximately 5,000 species of more than 400 marine species (including sea otters, sturgeons, Magellanic penguins and sharks), all living in tanks, each containing 1 million to 100 million liters of water. It is the only aquarium in Spain where you can see all five groups of vertebrates (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish), and the Cantabrian River adds to its unique charm. 🛬【Travel Guide】: Day 1-Llanes, Ribadesella Two coastal towns, Llanes has many magnificent rocky coasts, and Ribadesella's U-shaped beach is also unique.

Whether you're wandering its ancient streets, savoring its cuisine, or exploring its architectural gems, Oviedo offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

The hotel is centrally located less than 10 minutes on foot from the bus station and right in front of the train station. The front desk staff is very kind and accommodating. However, the room is just that - a room - no TV, no telephone to contact the front desk, nothing but a bed and bathroom. The man in the room across from me returned at 23:00 and was screaming with someone on his cellphone for at least an hour. There is absolutely no soundproofing in this old hotel so I could hear him even with my earplugs in. No one normal does that in a hotel at that time so I was reluctant to go past his door and down to the front desk to complain for fear if some kind of trouble happening as I was a solo female traveller. The only front staff I met were both female as well so I felt afraid the screaming man could cause more trouble than they could handle. #oviedo #location #old #noisy
