Avilés
With roots dating back to medieval times, Avilés is distinguished by a vibrant old town that reflects its evolution over the centuries.
This historic centre, full of life and charm, coexists in fascinating contrast with the iconic Niemeyer Centre, the only work in Spain by the acclaimed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. This avant-garde building has not only become the most recognised symbol of the town, but also a cultural reference for Asturias.
With more than 40,000 m², the Niemeyer Centre impresses with its innovative design and interior spaces that breathe art and modernity. It also has an auditorium with a capacity for 1,000 people, consolidating itself as a unique space for large-scale artistic, corporate and cultural events.
Avilés also offers the La Magdalena Exhibition and Conference Pavilion, a versatile 8,000 m² venue ideal for trade fairs, conventions and exhibitions. This multifunctional space includes an auditorium with seating for 500 attendees, as well as meeting rooms and exhibition areas, offering complete solutions for events of different nature and scale.
Accessibility is another strong point of Avilés, thanks to its proximity to Asturias Airport, located just 15 kilometres away. This connectivity, added to its rich cultural offer and first class infrastructures, makes this city a strategic destination for the organisation of unforgettable corporate and cultural events.
