Are there local tour guides in Oviedo? Can you recommend one?

I only have one day reserved to see the Picos. Are there tour companies taking tourists for a day trip to the Picos from Oviedo? Or is this something I have to do on my own using the buses? Thank u for your help.

I have been researching transportation from Oviedo to Covadonga. alsa.es has buses but we would have to stay there longer than we want to spend there - so am looking at renting a car. I rented a car via Hertz in Malaga before, but am looking into other companies. This is what we need: - no hassles - I would like to pay all possible insurances so if I hit something I don't have any out of pocket expenses. I know, this is not optimal but I prefer it that way. - pick up and return at reasonable hours. There's a Hertz and Avis right by the train station/bus station in Oviedo ... I am leaning in that direction except for the expen$e, but pick up is 9:30 am, so we will need to pick up late the date before. Anyone open earlier/later? The airport location is too far. - need around 300 KM - we will only have the car for the 71 km. from Oviedo to the Covadonga sanctuary. -no surprises - sometimes I'd rather pay more than have any car mileage or other surprise from a smaller rental. I saw the other recommendations in this forum and did not care for the companies mentioned. Any stable car companies or other suggestions? We just need the car for one day. I may just be renting from Avis and getting it over with - but if there is a better opiton I would welcome hearing about it. Thanks. Martha

Does anyone know whether the Sudarium of the Oviedo cathedral is on public display, or is it kept away from view? I will be in the area soon and would consider visiting Oviedo just to have a look, but only if it is on display for the general public. Just curious. Thank you

Hi there. I am thinking of moving to Oviedo in September to come and teach English. It seems like an interesting beautiful city with lots to do and see. - Does anyone know anything about the TEFL scene there? Lots of private schools? etc. - Are there any mountains nearby? I like to walk and climb. - Finally, is there anywhere to play snooker in Oviedo? I love that too! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mucho gracias, Peter.

Any suggestions for sightseeing with parents who are 78 and 86, and are adverturous but have little stamina? We are going for a wedding in early June, and will only have a couple of days. We are driving from Oviedo to Nice, so any advice on the route would be welcome too. Thanks.
