While enjoying refreshments in one of the bars in the area, admire the surrounding buildings and the iconic statue at the center of this square.

Tucked away among the warren of streets that make up Oviedo’s Old Town is the Plaza de Trascorrales, a small pedestrianized square surrounded by brightly colored buildings, restaurants and bars. Stop here for refreshments while you are exploring the city’s historical quarter.

Enjoy the pleasant view of the attractive plaza from your table. During warmer weather, dine al fresco when restaurants open their terraces. Try some typical regional dishes such as fabada Asturiana, a stew made with white beans, chorizo and pork shoulder. Afterward, go for a short stroll around the square.

Study the life-size statue at its center. The bronze work of art by local artist Manuel García Linares is called La Lechera or The Dairy and is of a donkey drinking water from a bucket with a milkmaid by its side. This permanent installation is dedicated to the milkmaids who until the 1970s distributed milk in the city.

Go to the plaza's 19th-century oval-shaped building which in the past was a covered fish market. Today it serves as a cultural center that hosts art exhibitions, among other events. See what is going on inside.

Leave the square and stay in the Old Town to visit its other major attractions. Take a self-guided tour of the 14th-century Oviedo Cathedral, a monumental building with a mix of architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance. Visit the Church of Santa María de la Corte, which houses the tomb of Father Feijoo. This Spanish monk was a leading figure of the Age of Enlightenment in Spain in the 18th century.

During your walk in the Old Town you will also come across numerous cafés, shops and restaurants. Stop for delightful local favorites.

To get to Plaza de Trascorrales and the pedestrianized Old Town, come by bus or drive. Parking is available for a fee in nearby garages.
