From May 20 to June 15, 15 local pastry shops offer tastings to promote artisan confectionery, a hallmark of Oviedo’s tourism strategy
The Oviedo Department of Tourism has launched a new edition of Oviedo Llambión, the gastronomic route dedicated to local pastries, taking place from May 20 to June 15.
The aim is to continue promoting artisanal confectionery as one of the great values of Oviedo’s gastronomy, both for its tradition and its ability to attract visitors. The initiative began in 2024 as part of Oviedo’s role as Spanish Capital of Gastronomy and returns for its second edition with new activities and greater visibility.
The 2025 program features 15 pastry shops, all offering special creations for the route at fixed prices. The event also includes educational and training activities centered around confectionery. Organized in collaboration with the Guild of Artisan Pastry Chefs of Asturias and its school, ITEPPA, the route is part of the city’s strategy to promote year-round gastronomic tourism and help reduce seasonality.
“The first edition of Oviedo Llambión had a very positive impact on attracting gastronomic tourism,” said Alfredo García Quintana, Councillor for Tourism. “These initiatives help showcase our local products and allow more people to discover and enjoy our pastry tradition, which is an excellent introduction to our city,” he added, thanking the pastry chefs for their ongoing involvement.
