Our director of OCA Villa de Avilés, Aida Iglesias, is extremely enthusiastic about the idea of ​​discovering one more time the city. She suggests you the first thing, to eat: «We have a typical dessert of Antroxu (carnival), called “frixuelos” and they are superb till death!» 😛

To her essentials list she adds: Taking a walk through the Galiana arcades, they preserves two original pavements on the ground and some of the houses also have their peepholes. So, as the house was upstairs and the stable down below, they used them to see who was coming.

Another curiosity is the black tiles directed to the town hall, they show us the old wall is still kept under them. You can see its remains through the glass floor at the entrance to the Palacio de Camposagrado, this building houses the Escuela Superior de Arte del Principado de Asturias, today. There is an urban project going on to expose the wall remains inhabit under the Calle la Muralla.
