Trip to Oviedo

Last week we went to Oviedo on a fantastic day-trip with our English teacher and our classmates. We visited the main monuments and streets of this wonderful city and we learned lots of nice things thanks to a guide tour.
On a trip to Oviedo, with so many incredible things to see, there are five that every visitor to the city shouldn’t miss.
San Salvador Cathedral – The San Salvador Cathedral was built in 1288, so is one of the older religious buildings in Spain. Loved for both its Gothic and Baroque architecture, it also possesses many fascinating features – an old tower, a pilgrims’ cemetery and two small museums. The cathedral also includes the Saint Chamber (Cámara Santa de Oviedo) a Catholic pre-Romanesque church which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Archaeological Museum of Asturias – Located in a stunning 16th century monastery, the Archaeological Museum of Asturias is a must see. Its exhibits include everything from Bronze Age and Iron Age artifacts to Roman relics found in the area, Heraldry, Armor and Ethnography exhibits and a whole lot more. If you’re fascinated with archaeology and history, you could spend the whole day here.

Bagpipes Bagpipes appear in all Celtic cultures around the western fringes of Europe, including Spain, where in Asturias there are hundreds of bagpipe (Gaita) bands and thousands of players.
