• Aviles — An important industrial and port city located in the autonomous community of Asturias in northern Spain, situated on the banks of the homonymous estuary near the Atlantic Ocean; it is historically recognized for its remarkably well-preserved medieval old town, as well as for its major role in Spanish steel and metallurgy during the 20th century.
