"Oviedo is a delicious, exotic, beautiful, clean, pleasant, tranquil and pedestrianised city. It is as if it did not belong to this world, as if it did not exist ... Oviedo is like a fairy-tale."
"Oviedo es una ciudad deliciosa, exótica, bella, limpia, agradable, tranquila y peatonalizada. Es como si no perteneciera a este mundo, como si no existiera ... Oviedo es como un cuento de hadas."
(Woody Allen)

The Cache
The cache is a tiny metallic capsule (about 10mm diameter, 15mm high, so-called "nanocache"). Due to its small size, it contains only a logbook (actually a thin roll of paper), no writing material (no pen or pencil).
Since the area is usually very busy during the day, the cache is best visited early in the morning or late in the evening. Saturday or Sunday around 8 am are good times for a visit, weekdays after midnight the area is usually also fairly quiet.
