A few words on Oviedo
The kingdom that kept the flame of Iberia.
In 722, the Visigoths and Asturian nobles won a small battle at a place called Covadonga, and from that unlikely start the Kingdom of Asturias eventually became the seed from which Spain grew back. Oviedo was its capital from the reign of Alfonso II, who built the Cathedral of San Salvador around 830 AD to house relics including the Sudarium, a cloth kept in the Camara Santa and displayed to pilgrims three times a year. The pre-Romanesque churches on Monte Naranco, Santa Maria del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo, are among the most quietly moving buildings on the Iberian peninsula.
Modern Oviedo is a university city of around 200,000 people with a genuinely elegant old quarter, a pedestrian street culture centred on Calle Uria and the Campoamor Theatre, and a sidra culture that is hard to overstate.
Asturian cider is poured from a great height, with the bottle held above the head and the glass below the hip, aerating it as it falls. The fabada, a stew of white beans, chorizo and black pudding that is the region's defining dish, needs exactly this cider alongside it.

Oviedo FAQ
Before you walk.
The churches of Santa Maria del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo sit about three kilometres north of the city centre on a forested hillside. They are a short bus or taxi ride away and well worth the trip. If you plan to walk up, allow thirty to forty minutes each way and wear sturdy shoes.
The nearest airport is Asturias Airport, about forty-five minutes from the city by bus or taxi. Oviedo is also well connected by train to Madrid (via the Renfe Alvia service, around four and a half hours) and by road to Santander and Gijon. There is no motorway directly into the centre so taxis and buses work best from the station.
The historic centre is compact and almost entirely pedestrianised. The cathedral, Campoamor Theatre, Plaza del Fontán market and the old Roman road of Calle San Francisco are all within easy walking distance of each other. The terrain is gently hilly but not strenuous.
Sidra is the drink: find a sidreria, watch the pour, and do not let the glass sit. Fabada asturiana is the defining meal, hearty enough to fuel hours of walking. For lighter options, the market at Plaza del Fontán has local cheeses and cured meats. The almond pastries called Carbayones are worth seeking out for dessert.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
