Train stations in Oviedo

Oviedo station on Calle Uría is the one for long-distance trains: Renfe's AVE, Alvia and Avlo trains from Madrid and the Alvia to Alicante call there, as do Cercanías to Gijón and Avilés and the metre-gauge trains to the north coast.

Which station to use

Oviedo station is open every day from 05:00 to 00:30 and is the one for Madrid trains, which arrive at Madrid Chamartín-Clara Campoamor, not Atocha. Oviedo-Llamaquique, on Calle Trece Rosas to the south, takes only Cercanías and the slow Regional to León, covered below.

From the station to the old town

Calle Uría runs from the station to Plaza de la Escandalera, where the old town begins, and the Cathedral stands on Plaza de Alfonso II el Casto just beyond it. TUA city bus line C stops at Uría Norte, beside the station, and runs down Calle Uría to Marqués de Santa Cruz, at the edge of the old town, from where you walk to the Cathedral. A single ticket costs €1.20.

Tickets

Long-distance tickets are sold on renfe.com and in the Renfe app until 15 minutes before departure, and at station ticket offices. The platform gate closes 2 minutes before the train leaves. For Cercanías, buy at a ticket office or self-service machine and use the ticket within two hours, or tap a contactless bank card or phone at the turnstiles on any Cercanías Asturias line. Tap in and out: skipping the second tap costs the fare for the whole network.

Rail passes and reservations

As of October 2026, Interrail pass holders need a paid reservation on the AVE (€10 in second class) and the Alvia (€6.50 in second class). Avlo is not on Interrail's reservation list, so pass holders should take the AVE or Alvia to Madrid and León. Regional and Cercanías trains, including the metre-gauge trains to Santander, Llanes and Ferrol, need no reservation.
