Oviedo

Oviedo/Uviéu is the capital of Asturias and stands out for its elegance and stately character. A city that perfectly combines its rich history with a vibrant modernity, making it an ideal setting for the celebration of events of any magnitude.

The legacy of the Asturian pre-Romanesque, declared a World Heritage Site, is one of the hallmarks of the city, permeating every corner of its urban landscape. This unique heritage adds to the international prestige that comes from hosting the Princess of Asturias Awards, an event of international importance that honours outstanding figures in the humanities, science, sport and international cooperation.

Oviedo/Uviéu offers first-class infrastructures for large-scale events, such as the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos Ciudad de Oviedo/Uviéu, known as "the Calatrava".

Located in the old water reservoir dating back to 1846, this building houses four large halls and seven additional spaces, including a main hall with a capacity for 2,000 attendees, ideal for events of various kinds.

For those looking for unique venues, the city offers singular spaces that guarantee authenticity and exclusivity. These include the modern Espacio Circus, designed to stimulate debate with its circular format; the relaxing surroundings of Las Caldas, with a spa and extensive gardens; and the iconic Hotel de la Reconquista, which every year becomes the epicentre of the Princess of Asturias Awards, hosting the event's most influential personalities.
