As I mentioned earlier, Oviedo is known for its collection of curious statues around the city. Here, you can find everything from a matador's bust in
El diestro to William B. Arransberg and (dedicated to travellers) to a Botero nude called
Maternidad to a recreation of one of Velazquez's
Meninas to Woody Allen. Yes, that's right, Woody Allen - who fell in love with city while filming
Vicky Cristina Barcelona here
. While the novelty of these creative pieces has worn off for the locals, our students certainly enjoyed seeing - and posing with them. Do not adjust your screens, the last photo is exactly what it looks like.The work of Spanish-Basque artist Eduardo Úrculo, the
Culis Monumentalibus does not go unnoticed. Measuring over 13 ft high, the piece was quite controversial when it arrived in the square in 2001.
