History, nature and dog-friendly spirit in Oviedo/Uviéu

Oviedo/Uviéu is a city with a lot of history, and therefore very pleasant and easy to enjoy, especially if you travel with your dog. It was the capital of the first Christian kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula and the origin of the Primitive Way of St. James. Today it combines heritage, culture, a lively atmosphere and many dog-friendly spaces ideal for walking with your pet.

One of the best things to do in Oviedo/Uviéu with your dog is to climb Monte Naranco, a route that will delight dog lovers. You can start at the Pre-Romanesque Centre and follow the route to the monuments of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo, two jewels declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. From there, if you still have energy left, you can continue on to Pico Paisano, at the top of Monte Naranco.

At the top, the Monument to the Sacred Heart awaits you, with stunning views of the city and its surroundings, with the Sierra del Aramo mountain range standing out. It's a long walk, but perfect for active dogs and well worth it.

After the walk, it's time to go back to the centre. Walking around the city centre of Oviedo/Uviéu with your pet is a delight: pedestrian streets, wide squares and many quiet corners. Come to the Cider Boulevard, on Gascona Street, where you can learn about Asturian cider culture and, why not, enjoy a cider on a dog-friendly terrace.
