Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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.

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

The Plaza Porlier is in effect a point of entrance to teh Casco Viejo or Old Town. Here are two distinct buildings, the Palaces of CampoSagrado, and of Valdecarzana. Follow these through to teh Oviedo Cathedral and other interesting medieval and Renaissance buildings

Leading up to Christmas a huge christmas tree was occupying a large part of the square, next to the famous statue 'el viajero'.

Coming from the busy shopping area of C/ Uria and the park Campo de San Fransisco you are almost bound to pass this little square entering the old part of town or on your way to the cathedral.
In the front corner you'll find the statue 'Homenaje al viajero '.

What is now a bank branch marks one of the entrances to Porlier Square, surrounded by imposing buildings.
The city's philharmonic is also on the square, between the cathedral and the San Francisco field.
