Almost everywhere you look, you鈥檒l see reminders of a rich and long history surrounded by remarkable beauty. Oviedo, considered one of Spain鈥檚 cleanest and most elegant cities, is located in the center of the mountainous terrain of Asturias. From the 35,000-year-old Paleolithic Cave Art to the university walls scarred by the 1934 Revolution of Asturias, vestiges of human history are evident everywhere.听
Just to the north you will find the cliffs and beautiful beaches of the Asturian coast reaching into the Cantabrian Sea, and in all other directions you will see the peaks of the Cantabrian mountain range, home of Spain鈥檚 oldest and most beautiful national park. This is the natural setting surrounding Oviedo, one of Spain鈥檚 historic university towns and an ideal place for you to meet Spaniards of all ages and to deepen your understanding of the Spanish language and culture.听
