Description

Gijón is stories, stories of the people who made it grow, from Jovellanos (who became Minister of Justice under Charles II) to the cigar rollers of Plaza del Lavaderu, We'll stroll through its seaside neighborhood, the cradle of the city with streets that still retain their traditional atmosphere, or we'll leisurely admire the neighborhood's corners with its palaces or popular squares where locals stop for a cider, a popular and local drink. During the 2.5 hours that we'll be together, you'll discover that Gijón, or Xixón, is full of charming spots. Spain is different... but Gijón is even more so. In Gijón, everything is big (Molinón, mareona, acerona...) or tiny (rinconin...). We give names to everything, even if it already has a name (las chaponas, la lloca, el parchís...). We disguise monuments like Pelayo, we laugh at ourselves, and you can discover all this and more on this visit to the fishing town of Gijón.
