Oviedo, Spain will be my home for the next 4 1/2 months. Oviedo is the capital of Asturias and is located in northwestern Spain. It has a population of 224,000 people. Oviedo was founded in the 8th century by a Fromestano Monastery. It became the capital of Asturias in the 18th century.
Oviedo is the home to the University of Oviedo. That is where I will be studying. The university was founded by Fernando de Valdés Salas in the 16th century.
Something that I'm really looking forward to is the weather in Oviedo. The climate is much milder than in Iowa. Having an average low temperature higher than freezing instead than negative temperatures is a dream come true!
