MEETING POINT
In front of the Avilés Tourist Office
Avilés preserves a surprising Historic Center who visits it. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it received the royal charter that transformed a small village into an important town of the León Kingdom and a defensive wall was built, wich was almost completely demolished two centuries ago.
During this tour we will visit the center of Avilés, with its typical arcades, along with the Sabugo neighborhood, the only neighborhood outside the walls that existed in the town in the Middle Ages.
We will know its history, the most emblematic places and buildings, and its transformation over time due to its port and commercial activity.
