Avilés

Avilés is perfect for rainy days thanks to its extensive arcades. We start at Plaza de España and navigate through the 'soportales' of Galiana Street. Noon is spent in the Museum of Urban History, followed by the futuristic Niemeyer Centre. The modern architecture looks striking against the rain, and the old town's covered walkways ensure a pleasant evening walk back to the center.
