COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
The city’s wide plazas are ideal for strolling. Plaza Porlier is where you’ll find the Cathedral of San Salvador built in the 1300s in a jumble of architectural styles; Baroque, Gothic, Renaissance and pre-Romanesque.
These remarkably well-preserved, pre-Romanesque structures include the church of Santa María del Naranco, formerly the residence of Asturian royalty. Nearby are the churches of San Miguel de Lillo and San Julián de los Prados where you can still see wall frescoes that are over one thousand years old!
To understand Asturias, it helps to understand the mining culture and history. The Mining and Industry Museum, MUMI for short, about 20 miles southeast of Oviedo, is just the place to learn.
From Oviedo, head north to the port town of Gijon with its Roman ruins, top-notch museums, oceanside promenade and an abundance of Michelin rated restaurants.
The perfect place to stay is the centrally located, welcoming and well-appointed Hotel Miracielos. The breakfasts are hearty and feature Spanish specialties. There is a cozy bar which gets lively at night.
