Get the door, it's the liquor store
To the northeast of Orlando lies the ultimate in Floridian small-town living: Oviedo. With a population of over 33,000 by... last count, Oviedo — pronounced “oh-vee-doh” — is a mere 20 minutes from the city center yet feels like a world apart. The original Oviedo lies in northern Spain and was established in the 8th century, with magnificent architecture and a medieval cathedral to boot. The Floridian Oviedo may not have a backdrop of ancient edifices to call on, but it does have lakes, lots of space and more public parks than you can shake a stick at. Oviedo also has a high livability score — 88 out of 100, according to Area Vibes — and that’s partly due to its great school system, low crime rate and a huge number of recreational offerings. With Lake Jesup bringing the scenic beauty to the north and the Village of Taintsville bringing the comedic relief to the east, there’s plenty to enjoy here. Yet perhaps the best-kept secret in Oviedo is that you can get your favorite beers, wines and liquors delivered straight to your door with Drizly. Simply hit up our app or website, order your selections and they will be there in 60 minutes or less.
