Access & Transport

The square is located in the historical centre of Oviedo, walking distance to the main sights in town. Several bus services stop in the surrounding streets.

Instructions & Recommendations

The Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias and the Plaza de El Fontán are both less than a 5mins walk away.

Meta review

Consistent online reviews describing the park as having pleasant promenades, plenty of nice statues, a pond with ducks and some peacocks hanging around, and some very inviting benches sheltered by tall trees in the summer.

Environmental & Social

Green attraction that improves the living environment of residents

Conclusion

Nothing spectacular per se but the tall trees and landscaping features make this a real compact oasis in the centre of Oviedo. Perfect after that late lunch or get some fresh air in between two cultural attractions.
