Anyone know the best way to get to Oviedo from Dublin to start the Primitivo. Thanks, Patrick.

The nearest and most convenient airport is Asturias (OVD). There are buses about once an hour from the airport to Oviedo. You could fly from Dublin to OVD via London or via Madrid. I usually use kayak.co.uk to search for flights as it gives lots of alternatives and prices.

Hmm. Not so simple, is it? I can only offer ideas from Bilbao/Pamplona/Oviedo. Fly to Bilbao, Blablacar or bus to Pamplona, and a lovely train journey to Oviedo. Clearly, going to Santiago and then onwards to Oviedo might be less complicated and maybe less expensive., That is part of it, though, isn’t it? Exploring the options... Buen camino.

Well even Kayak is struggling unless you want long layovers and flights via Barcelona or even Munich

Try instead working backwards from the sites for the airports in Asturias and Santander (3 hour bus trip away from Oviedo) and see where they have flights arriving from in October

www.skyscanner.net shows me plenty of relatively cheap flights (much less than 100€) mostly through Barcelona. That's one way of course.

Hi Patrick, if Santander doesn’t work out for your dates, Madrid is also an option. You can get a fast train to Leon and another to Oviedo. Although it seems strange to fly so far south of Oviedo, the train times fit in well with the early Madrid flights from Dublin (from what I can recall).

easyJet fly 4 times a week from London Stansted to Asturias (Oviedo) until the end of October. Ryanair has 8 flights a day from Dublin to Stansted.
