Join the journey through the streets of Oviedo-Uvieo on this historic tour to explore the most recent workers’ revolution in Western Europe, during a period marked by the emergence of socialism and fascism. The “Asturian Community” embraced the vision of a classless society, gaining political power, taking control of numerous barracks and banks, and even eliminating the currency.
Denis Soria, a historian and certified tour guide, will lead the way through the streets of the Asturian capital, highlighting key locations and buildings, the remnants of battles, and examining the main myths from an educational and unbiased viewpoint. Who set fire to the Campoamor Theatre? Why were the Holy Chamber and the University destroyed? Who was Aida Lafuente? What drove the Asturian workers to rise against the Republic?
This is a must-see tour to uncover a chapter of history that every Asturian should be familiar with. What are you waiting for to sign up?
