The city
Grado, Grau in Asturian, is a village in the center of the Astúrias, about 25 km from Oviedo, in the Cubia river valley. It is known for the traditional market that fills the streets of the center on Wednesdays and Sundays, with products from the Asturian countryside. The protected historic center includes the baroque palace of Miranda-Valdecarzana, now a library, and the chapel of Dolores, from the early 18th century. On the outskirts of the village, the Museu Etnográfico shows rural life in the central Astúrias. It is the first major village on the Caminho Primitivo after Oviedo. Spanish and Asturian are spoken.
