Overview
Avilés keeps getting overlooked between Oviedo and Gijón — which is exactly why this trail is worth doing. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Avilés on foot, using phone-based riddles to lead you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Solve clues at La Monstrua de Avilés, the Palacio de Camposagrado, and the Plaza de España — three landmarks spanning Avilés' medieval past, noble history, and civic pride • Start whenever suits you and go entirely at your own pace, with no time limit • Works for families, friends, and couples; photo challenges turn a city walk into a proper group event Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Avilés gets skipped more than any city in Asturias — the trail is the reason to stop.

Itinerary
Your trail begins in central Avilés. Open the Explorial app, enter your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, select Spanish or English, and tap Start. The trail moves through Avilés' pedestrianised old town, one of the best-preserved medieval centres in Asturias. La Monstrua de Avilés — the bronze statue referencing the famous Carreño de Miranda painting — is an early stop, with a riddle that connects the artwork to its surprising local story. The Palacio de Camposagrado, the grand baroque palace anchoring the city's historic skyline, brings an observation task that rewards looking at the stonework above the main doorway. The Plaza de España, Avilés' arcaded central square, features in a photo challenge that puts the group to work in one of the most photogenic spaces in Asturias. The old town is compact and unhurried. Groups tend to get competitive on the observation tasks, where attention to detail matters more than speed. The app shows final scores and a ranking when the last clue is done. Avilés deserves more than a passing glance from the motorway.
