El Carbayón, Historic oak tree in Oviedo, Spain.
El Carbayón stands as a large oak tree with distinctive cork-like bark covering its trunk near the Teatro Campoamor in central Oviedo.
The original El Carbayón was removed in 1879 to make way for Calle Uria, following a contested city council vote that ended 14 to 9.
Residents of Oviedo call themselves 'carbayones' in reference to this tree, which became a lasting symbol of the city's connection to nature.
The current tree location near Teatro Campoamor offers easy access through marked pathways and stands as a natural landmark for orientation in the city.
A local pastry called carbayón was created at Camilo de Blas bakery to commemorate the original tree, featuring almonds, cognac, and cinnamon syrup.
