Baroque Avilés Tour: A Leisurely Stroll Through Its Streets

We’ll discover palaces haunted by ghosts or churches that “swapped saints” or are “upside down.” A street that turns into a river once a year... a thousand anecdotes and stories that make this city the one with the most arcades in Spain (nearly 4 km of arcades).

Starting at the town hall square next to the fountain on La Fruta Street (right next to the town hall across from the pharmacy), we suggest a leisurely stroll through the iconic streets of Galiana and Rivero, with their arcaded houses that make them so unique, and through one of the town’s largest parks to explore a spot beloved by Aviles residents and admire its Modernist architecture.

I’ll tell you the popular names and their meanings, along with anecdotes and interesting stories.
