17 Feb Ascension Festival
In May, Oviedo transforms. The streets fill with music, tradition, and that special atmosphere that can only be experienced during the Ascension Festival. It’s one of the most beloved celebrations for the people of Oviedo and the perfect time to discover the city at its finest.
During these days, the historic center vibrates with open-air concerts, parades, activities for all ages, and the eagerly awaited Bollo Day, where Asturian gastronomy takes center stage. Cider, fine food, and a festive atmosphere combine with the elegance and charm of a welcoming city steeped in history.
And to fully immerse yourself in the experience, there’s nothing better than staying at the iconic Gran Hotel España.
