What to expect
Expect a evening ramble through Oviedo's medieval quarters, moving between historic buildings and plazas where your guide recounts documented and legendary events. You'll hear accounts of exorcisms performed in stone churches, examine carvings of mythological figures, and learn how the city's past—from religious persecution to occupied periods—left marks on its streets and collective memory. The tone is storytelling rather than sensationalism; the guide draws on historical records and Asturian oral tradition. Bring comfortable shoes and a torch if you're squeamish about dimly lit passages.
