Hello
Looking to visit both cities in late May. We would arrive on a Thursday and do 4 nights in each. Based on the vibe nightlife and restaurants etc is it best to do Oviedo on the weekend whereas we end up in Gijon Tues- Fri? Not sure if one has more university life that lends itself to weekday activities. Not looking for clubs just lively evenings
Thanks
Back in 2016 I stayed in Oviedo (found it historic but quiet) and daytripped to Gijon, which has much less historic architecture remaining, mainly just some nice late-19C/early-20C buildings. I'm not remotely a nightlife person and wasn't in Gijon during the evening, but I gather from my reading that Gijon is where the folks in Oviedo go for entertainment. I'd guess Gijon is the place to be over the weekend.
I don't know that the restaurant situation varies much; perhaps someone else can comment on that.
