Oviedo
Oviedo鈥檚 Fine Arts Museum, housed in two of the city鈥檚 finest palaces, spans the centuries with its large and rewarding collection, featuring work by Spanish greats such as Goya, Zurbar谩n, El Greco, Ribera, Picasso, Mir贸, Dal铆 and Sorolla. Don't neglect some of the lesser known Spaniards from the 19th to 21st centuries, including impressive Asturians Ventura 脕lvarez Sala and Evaristo Valle and the seemingly Klimt-inspired Hermen Anglada-Camarasa.
You can also enter from Calle de la R煤a.
