Cangas de Onís is a city imbued in history, in fact, it was the first capital of Asturias when this was the Kingdom of Asturias. All this history is alive in the numerous monuments of the town. Although the most emblematic is the Roman Bridge, today I shall tell you about: Palaciu Pintu.
The Palaciu Pintu is in the centre of Cangas de Onís, next to the market square, where there is a market every Sunday and I recommend you visit it.

Gran Canaria, as I mentioned in the previous article, has many tourist attractions, one of them being Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is over 530 years old, although it wasn’t until 1478 that it was founded as a city because originally it was a military base. The following link provides more information on the history of the city. (Click).
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has many tourist spots. Below is a selection of these attractions and I shall talk about them in forthcoming articles:

I was recently in Bilbao, a beautiful city, with the idea of bringing you tourist information on it. But because of the bad weather we had, I can’t offer you all that I had hoped to.
Nevertheless, the rain didn’t stop me from visiting the beautiful city of Bilbao (especially its old quarter) which has been awarded the World City Prize from Singapore.
But now I’d like to focus on the famous Guggenheim Museum, which is housed in a building I particularly like. The Guggenheim Museum holds the most important work by Richard Serra, who was awarded the 2010 Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts.

HISTORY: CHURCH OF SANTA MARÍA DEL NARANCO.

Oviedo is an Asturian city which I have talked about before in this blog. It is a culturally and historically rich city, proof of which is the church of Santa María del Naranco.
Santa María del Naranco is set in the hillside of Mount Naranco, amongst beautiful scenery and amazing views of Oviedo, just like San Miguel de Lillo.
This pre-Romanesque monument was ordered to be built by king Ramiro I in 842 AD. It is believed that because Santa María del Naranco does not have an apse, but holds the king’s throne instead, it was used as a country palace or recreational royal residence.
