Langreo

Getting to Langreo

For long-distance routes see Oviedo. The nearest airport is Asturias (OVD IATA), take the hourly bus to Oviedo and change. By road from the south follow A-66 to Mieres then join AS-1 towards Gijón. Langreo sprawls along a valley and has half-a-dozen railway stations at the convergence of two Cercanías commuter lines. Train C2 runs hourly from Oviedo, taking 30 min, and continues to El Entrego.

Worth seeing

Felguera town centre is modern low-rise. The Church of San Pedro on Matías Fernández Bayo was completed in 1954. Look out for striking murals on building gable ends.

Things to do

Teatro José León Delestal is on Inmobiliaria Setsa, 200 m north of La Felguera station. Cine Felgueroso sometimes shows films but is nowadays a general-purpose cultural centre. It's at Dorado 25 in Sama. El Camino de San Salvador is a modern invention: it follows an ancient trade route from León to Oviedo, but was never a pilgrimage trail to Santiago.

Where to eat

A dozen places serve tapas and trad Asturian fare in town centre.
