It’s also very close to the Campo de Futbol del Real Oviedo CF, in case you want to catch a game. It’s a great option for those walking the Camino del Norte route to Santiago de Compostela, too, as it’s located just a five-minute walk from the trail. Rooms are clean and functional, decorated in warming tones of reds, yellows and oranges. There’s also a small café for breakfasts or afternoon coffee, and a cosy restaurant serving good quality meals.

The two-star Hotel City Express Covadonga sits right in the centre of the city, next to one of the city’s most important streets, Calle Uria.
