About Oviedo

Described by the actor Woody Allen as "a delicious, exotic, beautiful, clean, lovely, tranquil and pedestrianized city…It’s like it doesn’t belong to this world…as if it did not exist…Oviedo is like a fairytale” just about sums up this city. Think of his classic movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" in which the girls visit Oviedo for a weekend at the behest of Javier Bardem and you will know why there is a statue of Woody Allen on Calle de las Milicias Nacionales across from the city's main park. Sometimes his statue is adorned with glasses, but quite often not, as they are always getting stolen.

Sitting between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay in the northwest of Spain, Oviedo is a fun, sophisticated city with intriguing sights to gawk at and lush parks to sit in. It has busy modern shopping avenues that are now being encroached upon by coworking venues to cater to the innovative locals and its huge student population.

Reaching out from its historic old town on the periphery of the city you will find a plethora of factories involved in producing textiles, food and weapons. Oviedo is the capital of Asturias and known for its medieval old town, its archaeological museum and fine art museum. It has been named the cleanest city in Spain and one of the cleanest in Europe.

Awash in historical spots to visit, ridiculously good food and colorful old world balconies smothered in potted flowers everywhere you look, Oviedo is one city where you can end up lingering long after you should have packed your laptop up. Now with coworking in its glorious streets, you will be able to mingle and network with its local community of tech savvy souls for as long as you like.
