Highlights
Join us on this Spanish route through the streets of the Asturian capital on this itinerary to learn about the latest workers’ revolution in Europe, at a time marked by the rise of socialism and fascism, where the “Comuña Asturiana” came to cherish the idea of a classless society, conquering political power, seizing and occupying dozens of barracks and banks, and suppressing – even – the currency. A historian and official tour guide will accompany us to know key spaces and buildings, the marks of the battles and analyze the main myths from a didactic and objective perspective. Who burned the Campoamor Theatre? Why was the Holy Chamber or the University destroyed? Who really was Aida Lafuente? What led the Asturian workers to rebel against the Republic? An essential visit to discover an episode of our history that every Asturian should know. What are you waiting to sign up for?

About Oviedo
Oviedo is the capital of Asturias, a green, walkable city of Gothic and pre-Romanesque churches, cider houses and plazas in northern Spain.
Oviedo sits among green hills a short distance from the Bay of Biscay, and its old quarter is a compact web of stone plazas around the Gothic cathedral, whose Holy Chamber holds medieval treasures including the jewelled Cross of the Angels. Above the city on Mount Naranco stand two small ninth-century churches, Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo, part of the World Heritage listing for the kingdom of Asturias.
