Flights to Asturias
Oviedo is the capital of the Principality of Asturias, a natural paradise located in northern Spain. When you visit, it will blow you away: from its beautiful beaches and coves to its cliffs and mountains. It seems like an incredible combination, but having the Cantabrian Cordillera to one side and the Cantabrian sea on the other, that’s what you’ve got. Naturally, if you travel to Asturias we would also recommend that you visit Gijón. It’s just a stone’s throw from Oviedo and has its own special charm. Because it’s a city wonderfully placed between the mountains and the sea, Vueling flies you there. in AsturiasHotels in AsturiasHotel AsturesRight in the centre of historical Oviedo, you have this beautiful hotel with a cosy interior.
