The Oviedo City Guides answer what visitors to the Asturian capital ask first: where cider is poured the proper way, which fabada deserves a long lunch, how to see the 9th-century churches on Monte Naranco, and which beach, fishing village or mountain lake to choose for a day out. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Casa Fermín
Calle San Francisco, by the park
The city’s grand dining room, serving since the 1920s and still at the top of its game: formal service, a deep wine cellar and modern Asturian plates such as confit kid and a much-loved rice pudding. Save it for the big dinner of the trip. From the food guide.
Mala Saña
Plaza Juan XXIII, by the Campoamor theatre
The cocktail bar Oviedo trusts most: carefully made classics, a long whisky shelf and music low enough to hear each other. If nothing on the list tempts you, the bartenders will mix something to your taste. From the nightlife guide.
Playa de Torimbia
Niembro, Llanes, about 1 h 15 min by car
A shell-shaped bay of turquoise water, best seen first from the viewpoint above, with a single beach bar on the sand. Clothing is optional, which keeps it calm, and the view alone repays the drive. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Oviedo
Day one: see the cathedral in the morning, wander the arcaded old-town squares and the Fontán market, make the menú del día your main meal, follow the statues through the Campo de San Francisco and finish with poured cider on Calle Gascona. Day two: ride city bus 10 up Monte Naranco for the pre-Romanesque churches and the view, then take the train to the beach in Gijón for the afternoon. For a rainy or slow day, spend the morning in the free Fine Arts and Archaeological museums and save the evening for a quiet wine bar with a free tapa.
