My granddaughter spent a college semester in Oviedo several years ago, living with a local family. She fell in love with the city and became fluent in Spanish. Ever since she returned, she's been longing to return to Spain; her only deterrent being financial. She has made several life-changing decisions recently, and so has decided to "treat herself" to a return visit to Oviedo next month, October....on a budget.
She wants help with booking lodging in Oviedo, and will be coming over to our house tomorrow because she thinks I can help her. Having never been to Oviedo, I am clueless...but I do know where I can find help....here, on the Forum!
She will depend on public transportation. She'll be flying in and out of Madrid, and so will plan on at least one night in Madrid prior to flying home because she just told me it is "6 hour bus trip" between Oviedo and Madrid.
Any recommendation for lodging in Oviedo will be appreciated. Affordable, yet in a safe and convenient area.
I also told her she should plan time in Madrid...mainly because I like Madrid and I think it is often overlooked because of Barcelona.
Muchas Gracias
