Nice little plaza in between the old and new part of Oviedo. This years seasonal decoration: get ‘dressed up’ as a snowman.

Square With Landmarks and Statues
Plaza Porlier is a public square surrounded by some of the landmark buildings of Oviedo. Some of the most significant buildings include Valdecarzana Palace, Camposagrado Palace housing the Superior Court of Justice of Asturias, the old Asturian Bank and the Theater Philharmonic. Like many public squares in Spain, Plaza Porlier also has a few cafes and restaurants. Opposite Camposagrado Palace is a bronze sculpture titled the Return of Williams B. Arrensberg, which is worth a look. Much of the square was covered by stalls because of the festivities. Looked festive, but made it impossible to see the full square.
