| OVIEDO, a maritime province of northern Spain, bounded on the N. by the Bay of Biscay, E. by Santander, S. by Leon and W. by Lugo. Pop. (1900) 627,069; area, 4205 sq. m. In popular speech Oviedo is often called by its ancient name of Asturias, which only ceased to be the official title of the province in 1833, when the Spanish system of local government was reorganized. An account of the physical features, history and inhabitants of this region is given under ASTURIAS (q.v.). Oviedo is rich in forests, coal, streams and waterfalls, which have largely contributed to its modern industrial development. The climate is generally mild, but overcharged with humidity, and in the higher regions the winters are protracted and severe. |

| Influenced by both Celtic and Roman culture, Oviedo lies within the Principality of Asturias, one of the most culturally significant regions in Spain. Just 21 miles from the coast, Oviedo is a gateway for great scenery, skiing, and beaches. While the city has an impressive old-town center, museums, and significant historic architectural sites, it is also a modern city with an active cultural life featuring concerts, opera, theater, and exhibitions. It’s an excellent location to improve language skills, as there are few English-speaking visitors. |
