    Well it's been a quite recent development to deliberately use the
    Asturian versions of local place names. Oviedo has officially become
    Oviedo/Uviéu in 2019. I only knew about this because I'd been in the
    area not that long ago.

    The laziest tourist ever: just moves one letter around (from Austria to Asturia).

    Haha! :)

    Lovely place BTW. Can recommend. Great food, too.


    It also appears that elements on both sides of the language discussion
    aren't exactly taking these efforts in stride

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/JKZBYUH8mwhPdcbS7
    https://maps.app.goo.gl/DputYQxdHJxmpfcY7

    Now you're just showing off!!!

    How in the world did you find these signs?!

    Well I originally just wanted to find what I knew was
    there because I’d seen it myself. But the first two
    signs that I came up with on StreetView were exactly
    the ones that had been sprayed over.

    This got me intrigued enough to continue to
    rummage around until I found an unsullied one.
