What you can expect

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO VISIT?
We will meet at the chosen time in one of the most iconic places in Gijón: the Marina. With the sailboats of the port as a backdrop, we will review the history of this city of Celtic origin that passed through Roman and Christian hands, without giving up its freedom.

Strolling along the pier we will arrive at the Revillagigedo Palace, the first stop of this free tour of Gijón. This majestic 18th century palace has a peculiarity; although its two towers look like twins, one of them is 300 years older. In front of it we will find the statue of a knight carrying a cross. Can you tell who it is? It is Don Pelayo, the first Asturian king and a figure very dear to the Asturians.

The tour of Gijón will continue in the fishermen's neighborhood of Cimadevilla, a place that condenses the purest essence of Gijón. We will feel how the seafaring airs of the neighborhood intermingle with the Roman vestiges of its streets, the oldest in the city.

From Cimadevilla we will continue our walk towards the coast. We will contemplate how San Lorenzo Beach merges with the sea while we walk along the famous Gijón Wall, a wide avenue that runs parallel to the Bay of Biscay and connects the two ends of the urban area of the city. In addition, we will take the opportunity to reveal some curiosities about this mythical street.

The last stop of the free tour will be the elegant Plaza Mayor, the perfect place to say goodbye after two hours discovering the main attractions of Gijón.
