Where is the Aviles cruise port?

Cruise ships berth at the Muelle del Niemeyer, a passenger quay in the inner dock of the estuary, right beside the Centro Niemeyer cultural centre. There is no terminal building, and the quay is closed to the public while a ship is alongside.

A footbridge from the Centro Niemeyer crosses the estuary to the promenade on the town side, open from 08:00 to midnight, and the main square, the old town and the train and bus stations are all about 700 m away on foot.

About Aviles

Aviles is an old port town on a sheltered estuary on the central coast of Asturias, in northern Spain. Its historic centre has stone mansions, medieval churches and long arcaded streets spreading out from the main square and the town hall.

Across the water from the old town, the white dome and tower of the Centro Niemeyer, the only work in Spain by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, host exhibitions, concerts and films. Sabugo, the former fishermen's quarter, keeps its 13th-century church and lively squares, and the town is the birthplace of the sailor Pedro Menendez de Aviles.

Cider houses, Asturian cooking and a compact layout make Aviles easy to explore on foot.
