The town is a fishing port northeast of Oviedo city, where the Villaviciosa Inlet enters the Bay of Biscay.

Charles I of Spain (Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) landed in 1517 at nearby Tazones when he arrived from Flanders to take possession of Castile; the Casa de Hevia, where he stayed, is still preserved. The area is famous for its ecclesiastical architecture, notably the Church of Santa María de Villaviciosa (13th century) and the convent of Valdediós (8th century).
