TUA Ticket Info

ZoneUrban
Single ticket€1.25

Single bus fare. The centre is walkable — Calle Gascona, the old town, and Mercado El Fontán are all within 10 minutes of each other.

Local tip: Sidrerías on Calle Gascona are best from 8pm when the escanciadores start pouring in earnest. For fabada, go at lunch — most places cook one batch and stop when it runs out. Saturday mornings at Mercado El Fontán are worth the early start for Asturian cheese, cured meats, and apple cider direct from producers.

Ask DOW on ChatGPT

DOW ranks venues with a 100-point Hot Score, recalculated monthly from live Google data. Three signals, in this order: written review activity — text reviews over 50 characters in the last 90 days, the heaviest by some distance; the standing Google rating from 4.0 up; and Google Business Profile completeness — phone, website, opening hours, description, photos and categories. In Portugal and Spain, reviews written in the city's own language carry more weight than English ones. We don't publish the exact weightings: a formula you can compute backwards is one you can farm. No editorial picks, no paid placements, no national chains.
