Part 3/7:
When visiting Asturias, the vibrant cities of Gijón and Oviedo are must-see destinations. Gijón, the larger of the two, pulsates with modern life along its coastal shores and serves as Asturias's main port. Just under 20 miles south lies Oviedo, the region's historic capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Known for its rich history and architectural marvels, Oviedo is also famously recognized as the original starting point of the Camino de Santiago. Both cities are compact and pedestrian-friendly, making exploration a delightful experience for all visitors.
