Oviedo, capital of the state of Asturias in the North of Spain, is a pleasant university town of 200,000 with a neat historical center (including a historically important cathedral), tons of cafés and restaurants, and an awesome nightlife. The city is surrounded by mountains and beautiful green nature, and lies 30 km off the Atlantic coast.
